3. She's a terrific actress--far better than Sophia Loren, IMO.

4. I thought Penelope Cruz was the Salma Hayek of her generation?

8. Paz Vega is the Penelope Cruz of her generation.
Sofia Vergara is the Salma Heyek of her generation.

5. Mrs mitchum and I tagged her as that last year...
because like Loren, her individual features are imperfect, but the combination of these alleged imperfections results in stunning beauty.

9. 3 Oscar nominations...1 win = minor talent?
I guess when compared to Streep...

11. I saw Vicky Barcelona a few nights ago...

13. I don't know how anybody in that movie was nominated for anything.
What a boring crapfest that was.

18. Only 2 nominations...she only won because she would have been the first spanish-speaking
actress to win...right place, right time.

7. haven't seen a lot of her movies, so
commenting on her acting would be a little unfair of me, IMO.

However, I definitely don't consider her a "great beauty".

Sophia Loren, on the other hand, absolutely.

10. She's a very talented actress
And she's very easy on the eyes. So I guess I'd agree with that statement.

12. She was great in nine. I never knew she was a dancer. But she did a great job.

14. I think Eva Mendes would be closer to a classic than Cruz.

15. I think she's beautiful and I also think she was excellent in the
Woody Allen movie in which she won the Oscar. Some people get into Woody Allen movies and some folks don't. That's what make the world go round.
