![Hayek was born in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico, the daughter of Diana Jiménez Medina, an opera singer and talent scout, and Sami Hayek Dominguez, an oil company executive who once ran for mayor of Coatzacoalcos.[2][3][4][5] Hayek's father is a Mexican of Lebanese descent, while her mother is Mexican and of Spanish descent.[6] Her first given name, Salma, is Arabic for](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXfQlCDyMcJfle7e0GRN7nhwmRhjZkkSjMJUY60F2BG_mDTOVy9eDkS_tBxByakQub0FXYTt7tepKVufTBMl6zKqsxaaawArfjBPGXvejZlALg3ZIG9MIGtH4rknkX1aXkhtRvxDlNBwyO/s1600-h/Salma-Hayek-salma-hayek-246035_1024_768.jpg)
![Mexico At the age of 23, Hayek landed the title role in Teresa (1989), a successful Mexican telenovela that made her a star in Mexico. In 1994, Hayek starred in the film El Callejón de los Milagros (Miracle Alley), which has won more awards than any other movie in the history of Mexican cinema. For her performance, Hayek was nominated for an Ariel Award.[9] [edit] Early Hollywood acting work Bikini-clad Salma Hayek, as Santanico Pandemonium, performs an erotic dance with a snake in this promotional still for From Dusk Till Dawn. Hayek moved to Los Angeles, California in 1991 to study acting under Stella Adler.[10] She had limited fluency in English, which was attributed to her suffering from dyslexia.[11] Robert Rodriguez and his producer wife Elizabeth Avellan soon gave Hayek the break she needed, a starring role opposite Antonio Banderas in 1995's Desperado.[5] The movie caught Hollywood's attention, as moviegoers proved to be dazzled by Hayek as Rodriguez had been. Due to Hayek's loyalty to the director, she would later decline playing the role Catherine Zeta-Jones eventually took in The Mask of Zorro after Rodriguez abandoned the project. She also appeared in the Spy Kids trilogy. Hayek had a starring part opposite Matthew Perry in the romantic comedy Fools Rush In. She followed her success in Desperado with a brief but memorable role as a vampire queen in From Dusk Till Dawn, in which she performed a table-top snake dance. In 1999, she co-starred in Will Smith's big-budget Wild Wild West, and played a supporting role in Kevin Smith's Dogma.[5] In 2000, Hayek had an uncredited acting part opposite Benicio del Toro in Traffic. In 2003, she reprised her role from Desperado by appearing in Once Upon a Time in Mexico, the final film of the Mariachi Trilogy. [edit] Director, producer and actress Around 2000, Hayek founded film production company Ventanarosa, through which she produces film and television projects.

She earned a Best Actress Academy Award nomination for her performance.[5] This made Hayek, along with Katy Jurado and Adriana Barraza, one of only three Mexican actresses to have been nominated for an Academy Award. The film earned two Oscars.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW-lwbQ40ab34g918uGAfvk006w-_-Y42bAELJBDRCORrB9BtGPCvBPBrrjgn11Hbr8ueQdtY4wiLJoR8yHA7gy9oFvwlHVtpUyPxaWevgoZth1r5bGyDfIS6fKRPT3oZ5P5LvKg-oKvfs/s1600-h/gallery_pic_1896_21155.jpg)

Maria Sharapova Wallpapers
![Maria Yuryevna Sharapova (Russian: Мари́я Ю́рьевна Шара́пова (help·info), Mariya Yur’evna Shara'pova [pronounced Sha-RA-po-va]; born April 19, 1987) is a former World No. 1 Russian professional tennis player and three time Grand Slam singles champion.[2] As of February 22, 2010, she is ranked World No. 13. When Sharapova was six, she and her father moved from their life of poverty in Russia to the United States, to enroll her in the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. After rising rapidly through the junior and professional ranks in the years that followed, Sharapova won her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2004 at the age of 17. In the two years that followed, Sharapova won eight titles on the WTA Tour and had two brief stints as the World No. 1. However, she lost all five Grand Slam semifinals she played during this period. She ultimately won her second Grand Slam title at the 2006 US Open. In 2007, a right shoulder injury forced Sharapova to withdraw from numerous tournaments; this was partially responsible for her dropping out of the top five on the WTA world rankings for the first time in three years. Although she won her third Grand Slam title at the Australian Open in early 2008 and returned to the World No. 1 position later in the year, her shoulder needed surgery in October 2008. Sharapova was away from the sport for ten months until May 2009, which caused her ranking to drop out of the top 100. Since returning, Sharapova's ranking has recovered to within the top 15. Sharapova's public profile extends beyond tennis. She has been featured in a number of modeling assignments, including a feature in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Sharapova was the most searched-for athlete on Yahoo! in both 2005 and 2008.[1][3][4] Since February 2007, she has been a United Nations Development Project Goodwill Ambassador, concerned specifically with efforts in Chernobyl to recover from the 1986 nuclear disaster.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiCxeIpq3jFs1C05IQLC61q2XoK2nmWHLAW7muNG2enbo8i3tqTIg5LUsDoxaPA_7heDhnYsvb-VTghKLrbTzHoXVwyqb5a-UG3KnNeVwVre10FtfVzTYahvaYGx-keRVYwLF9TERA8I29/s1600-h/Maria_Sharapova_at_the_2007_US_Open_(Cropped).jpg)
![Popeye the Sailor is a fictional hero famous for appearing in comic strips and animated films as well as numerous television shows. He was created by Elzie Crisler Segar,[1] and first appeared in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929. Popeye has now become the series' title as well. Although Segar's Thimble Theatre strip, first published on December 19, 1919, was in its tenth year when Popeye made his debut, the sailor quickly became the main focus of the strip and Thimble Theatre became one of King Features' most popular properties during the 1930s. Thimble Theatre was carried on after Segar's death in 1938 by several writers and artists, most notably Segar's assistant Bud Sagendorf. The strip, now titled Popeye, continues to appear in first-run installments in its Sunday edition, written and drawn by Hy Eisman. The daily strips are reprints of old Sagendorf stories. In 1933, Max and Dave Fleischer's Fleischer Studios adapted the Thimble Theatre characters into a series of Popeye the Sailor theatrical cartoon shorts for Paramount Pictures. These cartoons proved to be among the most popular of the 1930s, and the Fleischers—and later Paramount's own Famous Studios—continued production through 1957. The cartoons are now owned by Warner Bros. Animation and Turner Entertainment by way of King Features. Since then, Popeye has appeared in comic books, television cartoons, arcade and video games, hundreds of advertisements and peripheral products, and a 1980 live-action film directed by Robert Altman starring comedian Robin Williams as Popeye. On January 1, 2009, 70 years since the death of his creator, Segar's character of Popeye (though not the various films, TV shows, theme music and other media based on him) became public domain[2] in most countries, but remains under copyright in the United States.](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjChfNZKSdvE6tL4Ucsn0d3XGQZQq_etxg_eYfkM1xRxD-ZCMaBt9WaONgjHCy4ajMwtY90GzMY1euT6Mb79WNfR5bc3QxFNU5rdZVhYo6hQ0CWalhOHiRJteOEdABFfrQWssPBIpv0x3Mc/s1600-h/46704.jpg)
