While accepting her award, Hayek reflected on the early days of her career. The actress explained she was told it would be hard to find lead roles because of her Mexican heritage.
"My immediate reaction was, ‘Oh, my God, my heroes are dumb,’" she said. "Who would watch a Mexican? The 50 million Latinos that are living in this country, for starters. It didn't occur to them."
Hayek announced she would be receiving the honor on Instagram on Tuesday, saying she "could not be more grateful & honored," and her fans were quick to congratulate her, writing, "You're truly amazing! Thank you for giving us representation in media! Muchas felicidades Salma!"

"I love Jonathan, and I just saw this dress when it went down the runway and was like, ‘I want to wear that,’" the model told WSJ. about her look. She paired the dress with a black clutch and strappy black heels.
In part, the text on her dress read, "For if it be true that art is an index to the spiritual condition of an age, the historical consideration of art cannot fail to throw some light on the history of civilisation."
