in Celebrities Girls Movies by Bravo — September 9, 2009 |

Roselyn Sanchez

One of the hottest Latinas in my opinion, this beyond sexy Puerto Rican has shown off her curvy body with no hesitation. In 1993, she won the Miss Puerto Rico Petite competition and in 1994 the international title of Miss America Petite. She has a long list of movies and TV appearances and I believe she will continue to wow us with her on screen presence and charisma.

This Texas born hottie has a scorching hot body and face to match. I guess we can accredit her perfect body to that Kinesiology degree she received while attending Texas A&M University-Kingsville.

Rosario Dawson

This New York City born, excessively hot, Latina is the product of a classic rags to riches story, living in poverty most of her childhood. She started her career young with a minor part in the children’s show “Sesame Street,” and at 16 she starred in the controversial movie Kids, which dealt with sexually active teens and HIV. She then went on to play the bride of Colin Farrell in Alexander, and a prostitute in the action thriller Sin City. She has continued to awe us with her performances, and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

Ethnicity: Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban on her mother’s side, and Native American/Irish on her father’s side.
Height: 5′ 7″ (1.70 m)

This Bronx made Latina has explored all areas of the entertainment industry. She’s starred in a long list of films, released several music albums, and even started her own clothing line.

This tall blue-eyed blonde bombshell got her big break when she landed the roll in The Mask (1994). From then on, she made us laugh in There’s Something About Mary (1998), and showed us her versatility in Gangs of New York (2002). Her sex appeal, personality, and consistency will continue to put her at the top of the Hollywood’s sexiest actress list, no questions asked.

Salma Hayek

Growing up very privileged in Mexico, she started acting fairly young in telenovelas in Mexico. After years of success in Mexico, she made the move to Los Angeles to pursue the big screen. She struggled in the beginning, but soon got casted alongside Antonio Banderas in Desperado (1995), where she showed us her sexy curves and acting ability. She followed up with the hot movie From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), where she danced on stage with a huge snake in lingerie; was this a trademark for her or what. She has continued to star in hit movies, and has recently got into producing with the latest hit series Ugly Betty. Her drive allows her to pursue her every dream and I’m positive we’ll continue to see her heavily involved in the film industry.

Ethnicity: Mexican on her mother’s side, and Lebanese-Mexican on her father’s side.
Height: 5′ 2″ (1.57 m)
Films and TV: Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, Fools Rush In

She was offered numerous modeling jobs thereafter, and soon got a role hosting the show Fernando Fiore, which was a popular series on the Spanish channel Univision. This gave her the ability to travel, and also transition into the American market. She starred in several shows, and soon after, hit the big screen with appearances in Soul Plan, Four Brothers, and Chasing Papi.

Author: Bravo

Bravo enjoys long sensual walks on the beach, romantic candle lit dinners, and the finest bottles of wine and vodka... not! First of all, he'd rather be caught in Las Vegas on a weekend excursion, yes drinking vodka but not conservatively. Spontaneous is the name of the game, not planning anything and just living life with uncertainty is what he's all about. When he's not writing for Muff Slap he is either in the yoga studio practicing his downward dog, kayaking in the San Diego bay, or running a marathon away from, trailing husbands.
