After unknowingly have her visa expire, Hayek said that, I was an illegal immigrant in the United States. It was for a small period of time, but I still did it.
Salma Hayek's reps clarified that she soon returned to her native country to renew the visa, but she still faced plenty of difficulties in Hollywood.
I had to endure the worst time of all in terms of racial discrimination in Hollywood when i first started out, she said. It was inconcievable to American directors and producers that a Mexican woman could have a lead role.
