Los Angeles, Feb 9 (TIWN) Salma Hayek was once told she would never make it as an actress in Hollywood because she is Mexican.

About her journey in Hollywood, the 54-year-old added: "I think it's great; I'm proud of it. I want to shout it to the world because I was told so many times it couldn't happen, and I almost believed them. But I fought it. I fought and won. And I want other women to realise that. It's a beautiful thing."
