Penélope Cruz had a working-class upbringing in her native Spain, with her father working as a mechanic and her mother working as a hairdresser. But Cruz's star rose quickly. After taking top honors at a talent show, she was appearing in commercials and music videos by the time she was a teenager. It was soon on to movies from there.

Over her lengthy career, Cruz has earned four Academy Award nominations and one win for Best Supporting Actress. She also dated some of Hollywood's biggest stars before settling down with husband Javier Bardem. This is the stunning transformation of Penélope Cruz.
