She is an actress and producer, known for Amores perros (2000), The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005) and The Mask of Zorro (1998).n a professional actress since 13. Parents are divorced. She has a younger brother. Named after Vanessa Redgrave.People think the situation in Mexico is really 'woo-woo!' but that's not true. Alejandro González Iñárritu is very successful but Amores Perros is the only film he's made in Mexico. Gael is coming back to Mexico now, but Alfonso Cuarón [who directed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban] hasn't lived in Mexico for 10, 15 years. Even though we have a lot of talented people, we don't have an industry. I don't know if the characters look for me or if I look for my characters. But I do like to play strong women, characters that don't offend or degrade women. Films for me are my lover and my sons and my daughters. My projects are more than just a job: they're my creations. That's why I'm selective with what I do. Success is important, money is important - but not enough to make you do insulting things
