Cast & Credits
Penelope Cruz as Sister Rosa PENÉLOPE CRUZ (Sister Rosa) Probably the most important young star in Spain, she first came to notice in Bigas Luna’s “Jamon, Jamon,” which quickly led to starring roles in major spanish films such as Fernando Trueba’s “Belle Epoque” (Best Foreign Film Oscar®), Manuel Gomez Pereira’s “Love Can Seriously Damage Your Health” and Alejandro Amenabar’s “Open Your Eyes.” Outside of Spain, she has participated in Giovanni Veronesi’s “Per Amore e Solo per Amore,” Jacques Weber’s “Don Juan,” and Maria Ripoll’s “The Man with Rain in His Shoes,” among others. Most recently, she has starred in Fernando Trueba’s “The Girl of Your Dreams,” for which she won the Best Actress Goya Award in 1999, and has a featured role in “Hi-Lo Country,” directed by Stephen Frears. Her small role in “Live Flesh,” as Victor’s mother, who gives birth on a bus, left her and Pedro Almodóvar wanting more. She has recently completed Bigas Luna’s “Volaverunt,” will soon star along Matt Damon in “All the Pretty Horses,” directed by Billy Bob Thornton, and is currently in production of “Woman on Top,” directed by Fina Torres.
