Quentin Tarantino reshaped independent cinema in the ’90s, and Pulp Fiction became the film that truly marked his arrival. The film, shot on a lean $8 million budget, exceeded everyone’s expectations and pulled in over $213 million worldwide. (Via Box Office Mojo)

An All-Star Cast That Helped Make Pulp Fiction History

The story in Pulp Fiction circles around hitmen Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, played by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson. Tarantino stacked the cast with names like Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, and Tim Roth, creating a mix that helped push the movie into cult status.

It wasn’t only audiences that took notice of Tarantino’s brilliance as Pulp Fiction grabbed seven Oscar nominations in 1995 and took home the award for Best Original Screenplay.

Salma Hayek gets a lot of attention for her stunning looks, but her oeuvre proves she's a versatile and formidable actress. From action to drama to comedy, Hayek takes on every role with consummate aplomb. Her talent has garnered Oscar, Golden Globe, and Emmy award nominations.

Hayek started her acting career in the novela "Un Nuevo Amanecer" in the late-1980s. She then appeared in television shows, including "Teresa," "Street Justice," and "Dream On." She made her big screen debut with 1993's "Mi Vida Loca," portraying Gata -- a small yet memorable role. Her feature film debut led to bigger and bigger parts, leading her to become one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood. While the 1990s saw her cultivate a reputation as a sex symbol, she's since lent her impressive acting chops to a wide range of films, such as experimental indie flicks, superhero blockbusters, and everything in between.
