#PostureoEurovisión: triunfa con estas frases en tu fiesta eurovisiva…
La final, en directo
Many of the stars we know and pay to see on the big screen today began their careers in low-budget projects, or advertising products they wouldn't even jokingly think of promoting now, which is the case with producer and actress Salma Hayek.
Could you imagine that the wife of French businessman François-Henri Pinault once dressed up as 'Little Red Riding Hood' in a television commercial for BurgerBoy hamburgers in the '80s?
And yes, we've got the video to prove it.
The Mexican girl from Veracruz, who today mixes with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood and is herself a big box office draw, was the star of her own show even long ago in an outfit that looked less like Little Red Riding Hood and more like Snow White, all while she and her grandmother rode to the burger joint while she sang: "I'm Little Red Riding Hood and I'm going to visit my grandmother; I'm going to invite her for a burger at BurgerBoy."

Actually, Penelope Cruz is from Spain whereas Salma Hayek considers herself Mexican but her father is MidEast Lebanese.
Hayek is not a Spanish name. The singer Shakira is of Syrian-Columbian descent. Explains her bellydancing from her Mideast side. But I guess the examples above wounldn't matter to you EVEN if WE ALL AS AMERICANS come from somwhere on boat or across the border from Canada or even need I say again south of le border, YEEHAA!!

This is to "Jill", who said, "SHE IS NOTHING BUT A SYMBOLIC TALENTLESS MEXICAN WITH BIG RUBBER TITS."
Would you say something so stupid and insulting if you couldn't hide behind your Internet connection?

Jill, you don't know "jack" of what you're talking about. (Well, SOMEONE had to come up with THAT one, LMAO!!!)
On another note, it would have fitting if they said that Salma, as Little Red, was going there to "wolf" down a burger. (Heh-heh-heh)

Why on earth would she be mortified?
Actors/Actresses have to start SOMEWHERE. Dustin Hoffman hawked Volkswagen Beetles. Goldie Hawn giggled over how little her gasoline to run the VW Beetle cost. And so on.
I once read that Lucille Ball, when she became a household name, bought up the rights to an early film of hers that she found embarrassing.
Well, if you weren't embarrassed to take the gig to put food on the table or pay the rent back in your salad days, then you shouldn't be embarrassed by it now that Wolfgang Puck cooks your meals.

Don't forget that horrible Morgan Freeman Burger King ad from the 70s.

Morgan Freeman BK ads...now he is the voice of God! Now THAT is impressive. To go from hawking burgers to telling people "I LOVE YOU! I Made you and I think you are perfect." ;)

One of Lucille Ball's first gigs was in The Three Stooges short, 3 Little Pigskins in 1934 I believe!

That "early Lucille Ball film" you mentioned, JoanneVLavender: you wouldn't happen to know if it was "Three Little Pigskins," in which she co-starred with The Three Stooges (then comprised of Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curley Howard)?
