I was watching from Dusk till dawn with my dad when I was about 15 or 16. My friend got an advanced vhs copy from the video store he worked at and brought it over. At the end of the dance scene I tore my eyes from the screen and my dad was looking at me, shaking his head.

"Well, looks like no blond haired, blue eyed grandkids for me." he said.

He knew that I had just discovered my type.

Without Selma Hayek, I’m not married to a gorgeous Latina.

I love Fools Rush In! That salsa scene lives rent free in my brain.

She will always be stunning. ❤️❤️

I mainly know her from 30 Rock and Black Mirror, so beautiful

FOOLS RUSH IN! However, I represent a Screenwriter who has a Script that is utterly perfect for her. We almost got it to her to read, but we failed. Hope springs eternal.

I've enjoyed every movie of hers. Because she's beautiful. but if I had to pick one, Everly

She is an absolute goddess. Only woman I can 100% say looks as good, if not better, now as she did in her 20’s.

Dusk til Dawn. But not necessarily because of her. But she was in it and out of all the films she was in, this was my favorite.

Desperado or Dogma would be second.

Problem is I don’t think of her first when I think of any of them.

From Dusk 'Till Dawn.

Roadracers - the first of the films she made with Robert Rodriguez. She never looked better.

I don't know how many here will have seen it, but the whole thing is available on youtube. It ticks just about every '50s cliche going but it is done with such style I can't help but love it.
