Peace vega
She exudes naturalness and is one of the most attractive actresses in Spanish cinema. It was normal for Paz Vega to succeed, although she has gone further than she undoubtedly expected, crossing borders.
Born on January 2, 1976 in Seville, Paz Campos Trigo considered studying Political Science. And although she enrolled in Information Sciences, she was soon recruited for her first roles at the Centro Andaluz de Teatro, she knew that acting was her thing, and she moved to Madrid, to try her luck as actress. She took her artistic surname “Vega”, that of her grandmother.
It didn’t take much for Paz to attract attention, thanks to her spontaneity and good presence, and she was immediately given characters with continuity in the series More than friends and Compañeros . She made her film debut with Zapping , she was a flight attendant in Surviviré and she began to stand out with Nadie conoce a nadie , where she was the girlfriend of Eduardo Noriega .
Just that same year, she began to intervene in the series 7 vidas , which made her a very popular face. She played Laura, a Sevillian from a good family who went to Madrid to live with her cousins.
Since then, his career has gone from strength to strength. She drew a lot of attention from her starring in the very explicit Lucía y el sexo , by Julio Medem , with which she won the Goya for Most Promising Actress. She also earned a best actress nomination for Just Mine , the abuse drama. Almodóvar tapped her for a small role as a woman scientist in “Shrinking Lover,” a silent film embedded in the middle of his 2002 film De ella Habla de ella con ella .
That same year she did quite well, as she was one of the protagonists of the musical El otro lado de la cama , which was a great success, and she married the Venezuelan Orson Salazar in Caracas, his hometown. The couple have three children.
The high point of Paz Vega’s career came when the renowned filmmaker James L. Brooks noticed her, giving her one of the leading roles in the comedy Spanglish . She played a young mother who emigrated from Mexico and began serving in the home of an American couple ( Adam Sandler and Téa Leoni ). “I felt like an intruder, because I know that there were Mexican actresses who had competed for the part. But in the end I thought that this was like playing the assassin. You don’t have to hire a real assassin, but an actor comes and pretends that it is,” he told me in an interview.
Paz Vega also performed in the United States with Morgan Freeman the small independent film Give me 10 reasons , The Human Contract , directed by Jada Pinkett Smith and The Spirit , where she had a brief role. Two greats of Italian cinema, the brothers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani gave him the lead role in their film La casa de las alondras .
In Spain, her career has been somewhat uneven, since she took part in the correct Los Borgia , starred in Teresa, the body of Christ , a particular vision of the life of the saint of Ávila, and she was also the main actress of the completely unsuccessful Don Mendo Rock. The revenge? by Jose Luis Garcia Sanchez .
