Salma Hayek Takes Over TV

Ugly Betty was no fluke for Salma Hayek. The Latina actor knows that Hollywood tends to turn its back on women as they age, so what better way to keep in front of the camera than to run the show behind the scenes?

That's why Hayek has turned Hollywood player with several new projects bought by both ABC and CBS.

Queer audiences weaned on Buffy the Vampire Slayer will have their interests piqued by the untitled female werewolf drama written by gay comics creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, but Hayek is also working on developing Guilty, a marriage drama; Get Out, a workplace sitcom; and Yo!, about an author who uses her immigrant family as the subject of her work.

If even one of the shows catches fire like Ugly, Sayak should be sitting pretty for some time to come.
