Penelope Cruz Sanchez

Penelope Cruz Sanchez was the daughter of Eduardo Cruz (a retailer) and Encarna Sanchez (a hairdresser). She was a fervent performer in her youth and even reenacted commercials on TV to amuse the family. However, she decided to concentrate on dancing. After studying ballet for 9 years at Spain's National Conservatory, she continued her education under a variety of prominent dancers. She found her calling at age 15, when she defeated more than 300 contestants in an audition for an agency for talents. She was then offered roles in Spanish TV and music videos. This contract brought her many performances, which opened the way to a future on the big screen. Cruz made her debut film in 1993's The Greek Labyrinth (The Greek Labyrinth). She also briefly was in Framed (1992) which was a Timothy Dalton thriller. The Oscar-winning Belle Epoque (1992) was her third film. In it she played one of the four sisters trying to win the love of a handsome deserter from the Army. The film received numerous Goyas, Spanish equivalent of Academy Awards. Cruz became a prominent Spanish actress with her three- to four films per year, which was a growing list. Live Flesh (1997) (Live Flesh) offered her the chance to work with renowned Spanish director Pedro Almodovar (who would later be her ticket to international fame), and the same year she was the lead actress in the thriller/drama/mystery/sci-fi film Open Your Eyes (1997), a huge hit in Spain that earned eight Goyas (though none for Cruz). The luck of her life changed in 1998, when her film-industry comedy La Nina De Tus Ojos (1998) received her the title of award for the Best Actress Goya. Cruz has made a few other attempts at English-language films, however, her first major international hit was Almodovar's All About My Mother (1999), in which she played an unassuming but very well-meaning nun. Cruz discovered herself very popular on both sides of the Atlantic as her film received many awards and praises.
