From All Movie Guide: Spanish-born actress Paz Vega studied at the Centro Andaluz de Teatro stage school before getting her first break on the Spanish TV series Menudo es Mi Padre. Her screen presence and acting ability were just as apparent as her beauty, and she soon appeared on the series Más Que Amigos, as well as in the films Perdón, Perdón and Zapping. Vega arrived on the scene as a recognizable name and face in 1999 with a role on the domestic sitcom 7 Vidas... known as the "Spanish Friends." At the age of 23, Vega had become a star, and director Mateo Gil took such notice of her that he gave her a substantial role in his slick thriller Nadie Conoce a Nadie. She soon afterward made waves with a provocative title role in the erotic drama Lucía y el Sexo -- winning her a Goya award (the Spanish equivalent of an Oscar) and effectively making her a sex symbol overnight. Vegatackled several high-quality and high-profile roles in the following few years, including a battered wife in Sólo Mía and scientist in the award-winning Hable con Ella.

When Paz Vega got the call that she'd won a starring role in a big-budget Hollywood movie, she thought the gods must be crazy. "It was shocking," she says. "It seemed impossible." Vega, an onyx-haired actress from Spain, spoke hardly a word of English. But that wasn't a dealbreaker for James L. Brooks, who was making a comedy called "Spanglish," his first film in eight years. Vega plays Flor, housekeeper to a privileged, mixed-up family headed by Adam Sandler and Tea Leoni.
