About Penélope Cruz
Known outside her native country as the "Spanish enchantress", Penélope Cruz Sánchez was
born in Madrid to Eduardo (a retailer) and Encarna (a hairdresser).As a toddler, she was already a
compulsive performer, re-enacting TV commercials for her family's amusement, but she decided to
focus her energies on dance. After studying classical ballet for nine years at Spain's National
Conservatory, she continued her training under a series of prominent dancers. |
