Penélope Cruz Sánchez (Spanish pronunciation: [peˈnelope kɾuθ ˈsantʃeθ]; born 28 April 1974)^[1] is a Spanish actress and model. Signed by an agent at age 15, she made her acting debut at 16 on television and her feature film debut the following year in Jamón, jamón (1992) to critical acclaim. Her subsequent roles in the 1990s and 2000s included Open Your Eyes (1997), The Hi-Lo Country (1999), The Girl of Your Dreams (2000) and Woman on Top (2000).

[...] But I have no regrets because I wanted to start working and it changed my life."^[11] Charlie Rose of 60 Minutes noted that Cruz "became an overnight sensation as much for her nude scenes as for her talent".^[14] When Rose asked Cruz if she was concerned about how she would be perceived after her role in the film, Cruz replied, "I just knew I had to do the complete opposite."^[14]

Jamón, jamón received favorable reviews,^[19] with Chris Hicks of the Deseret News describing Cruz's portrayal of Silvia as "enchanting".^[20] Writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, film critic Roger Ebert wrote "it stars actors of considerable physical appeal, most particularly Penélope Cruz as Silvia".^[21] For her performance, Cruz was nominated for a Spanish Actors Union Newcomer Award and a Goya Award for Best Actress.

She recalls learning English "kind of late" only knowing the dialogue she had learned for the casting beyond that, she could only say, "How are you?" and "Thank you."^[10]n 2006, Cruz became spokesmodel for French cosmetics company L'Oréal to promote products such as the L'Oréal Paris hair dye Natural Match^[127] and L'Oreal mascara products.^[128] She receives $2 million a year for her work for the company.^[11] Cruz has appeared in print ads for Mango^[129] and had a contract with Ralph Lauren in 2001.^[11][130] Cruz and her sister designed their second collection for Mango in 2007.^[16] It was inspired by Brigitte Bardot and summers in St Tropez.^[16]
