Penelope Cruz Sanchez

Penelope Cruz Sanchez was born in Madrid to Eduardo Cruz, a retailer, and Encarna Sanchez, a hairdresser. She was a fervent performer in her youth and would reenact TV commercials to keep the family entertained. But she chose to concentrate her energy on dance. After nine years of ballet training at Spain's National Conservatory she was able to continue her studies under the direction by a range of well-known dancers. When she was 15 she realized her real call when she topped more than 300 other girls in a talent agency audition. She was offered roles in Spanish television and music videos. The contract led to a number of more roles, and opened the doors to a successful career in the big screen. Cruz made her debut in a film in The Greek Labyrinth (1993) (The Greek Labyrinth) and then briefly in the Timothy Dalton thriller Framed (1992).

Her luck changed completely in 1998 when the film industry comedy La Nina De Tus Ojos (1998) earned her a Best Actress Goya. After a few more attempts to make a film in English Cruz's first international breakthrough was Almodovar's All About My Mother (1999), where she played an unchaste but very well-meaning nun. Cruz found herself highly sought-after on both sides of the Atlantic as her film received numerous awards and accolades. Woman on Top (2000) was her next major project.
