Salma Hayek wants Arab women in Hollywood

posted on: Mar 28, 2015

She thinks Hollywood is overlooking Arab women in films, and she’s on a mission to remedy that.

Hollywood star Salma Hayek-Pinault told Egyptian daily newspaper this week, Al-Masry Al-Youm, that the Arab woman is absent in foreign movies because filmmakers do not approach her in “fear of causing her problems or causing unintended humiliation.”

Filmmakers prefer to produce a film in which an Arab actor plays the villain rather than producing something with an Arab heroine, she said.
