‘Knots Landing’ Star and Horror Favorite Lar Park Lincoln Dies at 63

Here are some interesting facts about the Marvel star that fans didn’t know!

1. Her favorite color is “midnight blue”.

“I went through my purple phase-maybe a bit too much! I also like reds and blues. Right now, I think it’s midnight blue,” she said when asked what her favorite color is by InStyle .

2. She believes that if anybody is surprised by who she is married to, it is a sign of racism.

“A lot of people are very shocked that I married who I married. And some people are even intimidated now by me,” she told Town & Country .

“But it’s another way of showing racism. They can’t believe this Mexican ended up in the life that she has, and they’re uncomfortable around me.”

3. She was born in Mexico, and she is of Mexican and Lebanese descent.

Her mother was a Mexican opera singer, while her father was a Lebanese entrepreneur in the oil industry.

She is one of the most famous Mexican actresses in Hollywood, and with good reason.

4. She graduated high school three years early.

Because Salma was so advanced, she was able to breeze through high school and graduated at the age of 15.

The following year she went on to study at Mexico City’s Universidad Iberoamericana, where she eventually dropped out to pursue acting instead.

5. Her parents allowed her to drop out of university to pursue acting because they initially thought it was just a phase.

“He let me do it,” she said of her father to Town & Country .

“But not because he thought I was going to stick to it, and then I stuck to it, and nobody is more proud of my career than my father.”

6. She doesn’t want to dye her hair because she is curious to see how she will look with greys.

“I don’t dye [my hair] because I am curious to see how I am going to look with this. I am sure in the next movie they will say sorry you will have to dye it but I am enjoying watching them come in. I don’t have any Botox. Maybe later I will change my mind but for now, I am comfortable being fifty. I am comfortable in my own skin,” she told Holmes Place.

7. She is a feminist.

“I am a feminist because I love women and I am ready to fight for women. I am a feminist because I am proud to be a woman, and I am passionate about making the world a better place for women,” she told The Guardian .

“I am a feminist because a lot of amazing women have made me the woman I am today,” she went on.

“I am inspired by women every day, as friends and as colleagues .”

I could not have said it better myself, Salma!

8. She is very proud to be Latina.

“We don’t give up so easy on our own people. We don’t give up on our family. It doesn’t matter. We learn to forgive. We always open the doors of our houses and we try to be there for them and to support them in the good times and the bad times,” she told Holmes Place .

“We hold this idea of honouring blood very, very, strongly. We don’t dismiss our family very easily. I am proud of that. We respect our elders.”

Image credit: Instagram | @salmahayek
Instagram | @salmahayek

“I think that in America I see a lot of people when they become inconvenienced they get put away. I believe we have to deal with the inconvenience. For some, I think there are different cases. I do feel we have to respect their wisdom and love and honour them and care for them in their old age because they were there for us. Or even if they were not, I think it is a virtue to respect our elders.”

9. If she could have any superpower, it would be the power to make everyone be kind to one another.

“The power to make people be kind to each other. Actually, I stole that answer from a friend!, she told InStyle .

How noble!

10. She thinks that she is a better mother because she chose to wait until later in life to have children.

Instagram | @salmahayek

“I think I’m a better mother because I had her later,” she told Town & Country . “But I do get tired. I’m not going to lie.”

11. The most surprising part of motherhood for her was how connected she felt to her daughter.

“I don’t know if it’s motherhood that’s surprising or that Valentina is so surprising. I am in awe of her-she’s very magical. I feel so connected to her but at the same time I discover something new about her every day,” she told InStyle .

12. Her number one piece of advice when it comes to skincare is to always wash your face before going to bed.

Instagram | @salmahayek

“Never go to sleep without washing your face, no matter how tired you are,” she told InStyle .

This is great advice, as even professionals say it’s important to let your skin breathe.

13. She loves to cook and invent her own recipes.

When asked by Good Housekeeping what her go-to, signature dish is, she replied: “I like to invent dishes all the time.” Admitting, “I’m getting really creative with quinoa.”

Not an easy thing to get creative with, so hats off to Salma for that!
