The Role: In her first feature film, Cruz plays Silvia, daughter of a prostitute in rural Spain.

Cruz was only eighteen when the film was made, which was mightily brave of her, considering all the naughty sex scenes.

The Movie: Bigas Luna’s Jamón, Jamón (Ham, Ham) explored the themes of love, lust, violence and ham.

The title might be a reference to Silvia’s breasts – according to José (Silvia’s lover), they taste like ham.

We think that Luna may have liked ham.
