Iconic actress Salma Hayek talks about representation in Hollywood specifically as a Mexican actress portraying a Mexican character. The 58-year-old spoke with Marie Claire about how she had rewrites and notes on the character of Isabel Fuentes in the 1997 film "Fools Rush In" co-starring the late Matthew Perry as her WASP-ish love interest. She shared that she had 10 pages of notes and that studio execs didn't respond well to her feedback. Decades later she remains one of the most prominent and successful Latina actresses in Hollywood today.
