I'm a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent, but I had blonde hair. It was ignorance: they thought every Latin person looks like Salma Hayek.

Yes, I'm blonde. When I started as an actor, because of the accent and my body and my personality, it was not what the stereotype of the Latina woman in Hollywood is, so they didn't know where to put me. The blond hair wasn't matching. The moment I put my hair dark, it was better for my work.

When I have really blonde hair, I usually go for a more natural look, wearing way less makeup.

Blondes make the best victims. They're like virgin snow that shows up the bloody footprints.

My long, blonde hair has been my trademark ever since I started modelling in the Seventies, when I was scouted sunbathing in St Tropez.

This is my natural hair color. I'm usually blonder but not that blond. That was a wig actually because I didn't want to make my hair blond. I have long hair but it's not that thick.
