Garnering two Oscars in 2002 - Best Makeup and Best Music,Original Score - Frida tells the true story of artist Frida Kahlo, as portrayedby Academy Award nominee Salma Hayek (Best Actress, Frida, 2002). The biopic costars Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2), Antonio Banderas(The Mask Of Zorro), Ashley Judd (Heat), Geoffrey Rush (The King's Speech) and Edward Norton(Fight Club). Directed byJulie Taymor (Across the Universe), the film was based on the novel by HaydenHerrera. Frida was a passionproject for Salma Hayek and it took a long time for the project to finally come to fruition after many years of rejections. The long wait proved that just because you’re hot in this town, it doesn't mean you canalways get what you want. Hayek had to pay her dues like everyone else and build herself up as an actress and producer first to get this done. It also helps that the script for Frida was that good.
