Penelope Cruz is one of Hollywood’s most famous actresses. Here are some of her best pics over the years.
Penelope Cruz is one of the most prolific actresses of her generation. In her decades-long career, she’s amassed commercial and critical success and has earned her fair share of awards. Penelope broke onto the screen in the early/mid-90s with a number of roles in TV and film. It wasn’t the early 2000s when she starred in films like Blow with Johnny Depp and Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise that her star really began to rise. In 2006, she starred in the film Volver, which earned her her very first Oscar nomination. Two years later, she won her first Oscar for her supporting performance in the film Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Penelope married her co-star, fellow Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, in 2010. Over the years, Penelope has maintained her classic sense of style and poise.
