Though she’s only recently stepped into the spotlight, Paz Vega has been a fixture among Spanish viewers for almost a decade. Paz Vega has appeared in such critically acclaimed foreign films as 2001′s Sex and Lucia, 2002′s
Talk to Her and 2002′s The Other Side of the Bed. Her North American breakthrough came out in 2004: Spanglish, written and directed by James L. Brooks, cast Paz Vega as a Mexican maid who comes to live with a rich American family, and there’s little doubt that the actress was more than able to hold her own opposite renowned stars Adam Sandler and Tea Leoni.
She was born Paz Campos Trigo on January 2, 1976, in Seville, the Spanish town famous for Carmen and singing barbers. The slender and athletic Paz first dreamed of being a sports star and later aspired to politics. But at age 15, all it took was a day at the theater to cement her ambitions; a performance of La Casa de Bernarda Alba set her sights on acting for good. At 16, Paz left school and womens apparel patiently waited for the prestigious Centro Andaluz de Teatro acting school to accept her. The fact that she directed a Spanish play in the meantime certainly didn’t hurt.
After two years at the acting school and another two studying journalism, Paz moved to Madrid, where she sought fame. She changed her name to Paz Vega (her grandmother’s last name) and worked in bars while auditioning for every gig she heard about hair artiest. Her big break came on TV, where she appeared in three episodes of the Spanish series Menudo es mi padre.
