Googling "Salma Hayek cover" brings up a link to the current issue of More magazine with a story on Selma Hayek<http://www.more.com/entertainment/celebrities-movies-tv-music/salma-hayek-makes-waves> where she says, ""I've worked hard for everything I have." Regardless of the truth of the statement, locus of control research would indicate that believing it is probably associated with success and the causality arrows probably point both ways: the internal locus of control supports success and success produces an internal locus of control.
I couldn't bring myself to read the entire chatty article but I did skip around enough to find that she was born in Mexico to an opera singer and a Lebanese-Mexican businessman. Also, as to the beauty part, if you can get through even a little bit of the article I think you will understand that her point of view is that her beauty was not something that was given but was achieved (and continues to be maintained) through effort, if you know what I mean.

I suppose I should - perhaps she does admit to getting some help from others or to have been lucky enough to be born beautiful somewhere in the article. All right - I'll do my homework and actually read the article and let everyone know. Michael Michael A.
