Salma Hayek is living a fairy tale life

With a billionaire husband and lovely daughter, as well as an expanding career Salma Hayek really is happy with her lot, writes Helen Barlow.

IN THE past few years Salma Hayek has been building her profile in the film industry beyond the sphere of acting. For instance, the 49-year-old has been the driving force behind Kering’s Women in Motion talks at the Cannes festival, where prominent women discuss their status in cinema. The talks are an initiative of Kering, an €11.5 billion luxury brand for which Hayek’s French husband, François-Henri Pinault, 54, is the CEO.

The trailblazing Mexican actress has been keen to discuss how the status of Latin women in Hollywood has improved, even if the situation is still far from ideal.
