• Hispanics who triumphed in Hollywood
• Mexicans Conquer the Film Industry
• Outstanding Actors and Directors in Hollywood

We present 7 Hispanics who triumphed in Hollywood just days before the celebrations for National Hispanic Heritage Month begin,

From September 15th to October 15th, we celebrate the contributions of Latinos to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.

While many personalities will be left out of this list, we believe the significance of these figures deserves recognition.

Here, you will find renowned film director Guillermo del Toro and Colombian model and actress Sofia Vergara, among others.

Cuarón, Del Toro, and Iñárritu: The Three Amigos

What more can be said about Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, and Guillermo del Toro that hasn’t already been said?

These Mexican directors conquered Hollywood with their talent and films that have delighted lovers of the seventh art.

From 2014 to 2018, ‘the three amigos’ won the Oscar for Best Director. Only in 2017 did Damien Chazelle, for La La Land, compete with them.

Their most recent projects, for which they also received great acclaim, were Pinocho (Del Toro), Bardo (Iñárritu), and Roma (Cuarón).

Benicio del Toro, a Versatile Actor

When it comes to successful Hispanics in Hollywood, actor Benicio Monserrate Rafael del Toro Sánchez is one of them.

Born in San Germán, Puerto Rico, Benicio del Toro has an impressive filmography in which he has portrayed all kinds of characters.

In 2000, he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as a police officer in the film Traffic.

In a few days, the film Reptile, in which he also collaborates as a screenwriter, will be released on Netflix.

The Charisma of Salma Hayek

Mexican actress and producer Salma Hayek, who just turned 57, has forged a successful career in Hollywood.

Salma is among the nine Latin American actresses nominated for Best Leading or Supporting Actress at the Oscars.

In her case, it was for the film Frida, which marked a turning point in her career, as she was previously offered stereotypical roles.

One of her most recent films was Magic Mike: The Last Dance, in which she co-starred with actor Channing Tatum.

Eva Longoria, ‘the Desperate Housewife’

Actress Eva Longoria had a similar experience to Salma Hayek, as she was only offered certain types of roles.

Despite being born in the United States, she has always proudly defended her Hispanic heritage and prioritizes Latino projects.

Eva rose to fame as one of the stars of the television series Desperate Housewives.

Recently, she made her directorial debut with the film Flamin’ Hot: The Flavor That Changed the World, which premiered in June.

From Runways to TV and Film

Colombian actress, model, and host Sofia Vergara, at just over 50 years old, is one of the Hispanics who triumphed in Hollywood.

Before turning 20, she was already famous for her work in modeling and various television programs as a host.

However, it was her role as Gloria Delgado in the series Modern Family that made her famous in the United States and around the world.

In a few weeks, the series Griselda, inspired by Colombian businesswoman Griselda Blanco and starring Sofia, will premiere.

Gael and Diego: The Charolastras

When talking about Diego Luna, it is impossible not to mention Gael García, and when speaking of Gael, we remember Diego. Both actors have participated in prominent Hollywood productions.

Univisión recognizes the careers of these Mexicans, who many came to know through the film Y Tu Mamá También.

In Diego’s case, one of his most memorable performances was in the film The Terminal, alongside Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Finally, Gael García (one of the protagonists of Amores Perros) is about to release the film Cassandro.
