Penelope Cruz Sanchez was born in
Madrid, Spain, on the 28th of April, 1974. Raised in Madrid along
with her brother, Eduardo, and sister, Monica, Penelope was always
fond of the arts, particularly ballet and jazz. Her passion for
dance led to her decision to not graduate from high school, and
instead, to focus her time and energy on dance.
Pe, as she is nicknamed, may not
have her high school diploma, but she does have four years of theatre
training from Cristina Rota's school in New York. After having studied
drama, and with 10 years of classical ballet training and 3 years
of Spanish ballet training, Penelope was ready to take her performing
skills to the camera.
Her big break came at the age of
17, when she was cast in Jamon, Jamon (Ham, Ham in English)
and Belle Epoque.

Penelope
on TV
"I remember doing Jamon, Jamon; when I was given the part, I knew about the nudity. I was comfortable with that. But when I saw the film, I was shocked. I found it very hard to deal with the fact that the whole world would be seeing me like that. It was like having a nervous breakdown and I moved back with my parents to escape the attention. I feel frightened, sometimes, at the reaction of men to me."
