Salma Hayek has only one nationality.
 Hayek initially struggled with the lack of acting job offers after moving to the United States, recalling that "there was no industry or parts for Latin women", and was once even told that her accent would "make moviegoers think of housekeepers"
 It has been noted, for instance, that most of her early films, such as the action-oriented Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn and Fled, "predominantly featured her in racy sex symbol type of roles" and ultimately made Hayek a familiar face with mainstream audiences
