Salma Hayek, Knighted: Actress to obtain Legion of Recognition From French Leader Nicolas Sarkozy

Finally, putting Salma Hayek and Napolean Bonaparte inside the same sentence is smart. According to People, Hayek is positioned to find the Légion d'Honneur (Legion of Recognition) in France. The actress' title came out on French leader Nicolas Sarkozy's official list the 2009 Sunday. Very good, founded by Napolean in 1802, is provided to military personnel and civilans. People highlights the title "is not exclusively limited to french which is frequently granted to figures of worldwide standing." Meaning Hayek's be employed in 'Puss in Boots' is finally needing to repay. Hayek will receive a medal, with the title of Chevalier or "Dark evening", within the ceremony sometime next two several days. Incidentally, Hayek posseses an association with this particular recognition: her father-in-law, businessman Francois Pinault, gets the Legion title of Grand Officer.
