The article tells about this episode of the career of film stars and gives a brief description of the biography of talented women.
general information
Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz began their career at about the same time, with a difference of only a few years, and were best friends. Their first works did not bring worldwide recognition, but gave an impetus to continue acting.
In the 90s of the last century, each of them starred in more than ten different films. Salma's most popular films were From Dusk Till Dawn, On The Edge Of A Break, and Studio 54. Penelope distinguished herself with the works “Open Your Eyes”, “Talk of Angels”, “The Girl of Your Dreams” and other cult projects. In the 90s, young actresses coped well with roles of any type. During this period, popularity came to them, which later yielded amazing results. In the new century, every actress went her own way.
Continuation of the biography
With the advent of the 21st century, Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz continued their creative activities. The first not only starred in different films, but also founded her own production studio.

At this time, she, along with Johnny Depp, starred in the film "Cocaine", with Tom Cruise in the cult melodrama "Vanilla Sky" and became the main character in the odious "Gothic". This track record is far from complete, because the modeling business also attracted Penelope Cruz. Salma Hayek was not seen in him, but her merits in the film industry are not diminished by this.

Joint shooting

The plot tells about Mary from a simple family and Sarah - a representative of high society, whom fate brought together when robbing a bank.
Despite their origin, they have the same motives - revenge for fathers and deceived landowners.
The first attempt ended unsuccessfully, but because the girls decide to learn robbery from the famous thief Billy Buck. After some doubt, the man agrees to take them as a student. Over time, Maria and Sarah became real deft robbers, and after a couple of major raids on banks, everyone in the district already knew about them. Detective Quentin Cook is sent by the authorities to capture the clever villains. With the help of tricks, the girls intercept him and talk about who really deserves punishment in this territory.
