Can English Language Interfere with Hispanics Success?

Selma Hayek is the first Mexican actress in Hollywood to be nominated as best actress. This is enormous in the Hispanic community because Hispanics are not known to be a successful ethnic group. Selma is not only an actress but is also a director and producer. She has participated in the 55 total movies and multiple shows. She started in Mexico doing soap operas. This made her famous in Mexico. She then moved to Los Angeles California in 1991 to study acting. She then was given a starring role in Antonio Banderas in 1995. When Hayek came to the United States she didn’t speak English fluently. She learned English here in the United States with her thick Mexican accent.

Selma Hayek is a Mexican American woman who has inspired the Hispanic community. She came here without being knowledgeable with the English language. Nothing held her back with what many Hispanics have trouble with when they first deport here. She has proven to the American community that she is a hard working Latina. People who stereotype should take this to account and see that Hispanics can do successful things. Such as, acting and become professional in the professional world.

For the amount of time that she has here in the United States she has done so much in such little time. When she first came here she was offered an opportunity to be part of the movie Antonio Banderas. Not many people get this type of opportunity.
