Most U.S. audiences were introduced to Penelope Cruz in 2001, when she got âall kinds of crazyâ opposite Johnny Depp in Ted Demmeâs Blow and, almost simultaneously, starred alongside Tom Cruise in Cameron Croweâs mind-bending film, Vanilla Sky.
However, what these audiences may not know, is that Cruz â who currently stars in Sahara, opening nationwide on April 8 â got her start as an actress in her native Spain when she was just a teenager.
Cruz, who plays a wily doctor in Sahara is a rarity in the testosterone-laden action/adventure genre, goes on to reveal where her sources of professional inspiration actually lie.
Cruz's fiery physical intensity goes only so far in compensating for her language barrier, but most of her sparse dialogue is watered-down doctor talk.
