Penelope Cruz Sanchez

Penelope Cruz Sanchez was the daughter of Eduardo Cruz (a retailer) and Encarna Sanchez (a hairdresser). She was a fervent performer as a young girl and even reenacted commercials on TV to entertain the family. However, she chose to focus her attention on dance. After nine years of ballet instruction in Spain's National Conservatory she was able to continue her studies under the direction of several prominent dancers. Her true calling was discovered at age 15 when she beat more than 300 girls in an audition for an agency for talents.

In 1998, her luck changed when she won an award for the best Actress Goya for the movie-industry comedy La Nina De Tus Ojos (1998). Cruz made several more trips to films in English, but All About My Mother (1999) was her first major international hit. She played an unchaste however well-meaning nun.
