Seville, Spain
A career crossing borders
Paz Vega is a Spanish actor and filmmaker born in Seville on 2 January 1976. After television work in Spain, she reached a wider film audience with Lucía y el sexo, for which she received the Goya Award for best new actress.
In Spanglish, Vega plays Flor Moreno, a mother who starts working for the Clasky family. The story follows the negotiations and misunderstandings that arise as the two families encounter differences in language and expectations.
Her career has continued across Spanish and international productions. Vega also moved into directing with Rita, a film for which she received recognition as a filmmaker.
