Mexican actress and producer Salma Hayek is celebrating her 60th birthday, marking a career that spans over three decades. Her professional journey began in Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, with Mexican telenovelas such as ‘Teresa’ before she transitioned to international Hollywood stardom following her move to Los Angeles in 1991. Despite facing obstacles including dyslexia, language barriers, and industry prejudices regarding her accent, she achieved a major breakthrough in 1995 with the film ‘Desperado’. Hayek has been recognized for using her platform to challenge industry stereotypes regarding Latina performers and the Latino community. Through her production company, Ventanarosa, and projects like the Oscar-nominated ‘Frida’, she has worked to promote productions that defy preconceived notions about Mexico and Latin America. Her various professional roles in film, television, directing, and commercial contracts have contributed to an estimated net worth of approximately $200 million. To mark her 60th birthday on September 2, Hayek shared a series of natural, oceanfront photographs on Instagram, captioning the post ‘60 and grateful.’ The posts, which featured her embracing her natural graying hair, went viral and received engagement from celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Elle Fanning, and Lindsay Lohan. Her milestone birthday was celebrated at Villa Medici in Rome, attended by family and Hollywood figures including Angelina Jolie, Rita Ora, and Taika Waititi. This milestone follows a significant personal development, as Hayek recently became a grandmother for the first time following the birth of her grandson, François. ~~As she enters this new decade,~~ Speaking at the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women Dinner in New York, Hayek ~~continues to emphasize a lifestyle~~ attended alongside her husband, Kering chairman François-Henri Pinault.
