Salma Hayek was so desperate to land "any role" in pal Julie
Taymor's new Beatles movie musical, Across the Universe, she ended up
playing 12 nurses in the film.
When the Latina heard her Frida director was making a movie featuring
the songs of one of her favorite groups, she felt she had to be involved.
Taymor says, "She said, `Julie, what can I play? Isn't there
anything?' There were all really young parts but I said, `OK, you can play
one of the nurses.'
"She said, `Only one of the nurses?' So I said, `Alright, you can
be all of the nurses.' I think there were 12 in the beginning and we cut
it down."
