Does time stand still for some? It certainly seems that way for Salma Hayek, whose radiant presence continues to captivate audiences worldwide, making her age a constant point of fascination.

Born Salma Valgarma Hayek Jiménez on September 2, 1966, in the vibrant port city of Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico, she carries a rich heritage within her. Her father is of Lebanese descent, while her mother boasts Mexican and Spanish ancestry, a blend that perhaps contributes to her striking and unique beauty. Little Salma's childhood was forever changed after a trip to a local movie theater, where she witnessed the enchanting world of "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" (1971). From that moment, a star was born, and she knew her destiny lay in the magic of acting. As a young girl, at the age of 12, she was sent to the Academy of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans, Louisiana, beginning a journey that would take her from a small Mexican town to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
