I don't mind playing someone's girlfriend or wife if I have something to say, if I bring something to the picture, if I can be strong and powerful and say smart things. If not, then it's just boring."''

7	After studying acting in UsefulNotes/{{Cuba}}, she moved to UsefulNotes/{{Spain}}, where she started her professional career. She obtained Spanish citizenship as a result of her grandparents being Spanish. Her first major role was in the TV show ''Series/ElInternado'' in 2007, at 19 years old. Eventually, she moved to the United States in 2013 to work in Hollywood.

9	She's best known internationally for her roles as Bel in ''Film/{{Knock Knock\|2015}}'', the holographic girlfriend Joi in ''Film/BladeRunner2049'', Marta Cabrera in ''Film/KnivesOut'' and Paloma in the 25th ''Film/JamesBond'' film, ''Film/NoTimeToDie''. For her performance as Creator/MarilynMonroe in ''{{Film/Blonde}}'', she was nominated for the [[MediaNotes/AcademyAwardForBestActressInALeadingRole Academy Award for Best Actress]].

33
34	!!Associated tropes:
35
36	* ActionGirl: ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' turns her into one, as CIA agent Paloma. Mere weeks after that film's release, she was cast as the ''Franchise/JohnWick'' character Ballerina in her own spinoff film, and before that one was even made she headlined ''Film/{{Ghosted\|2023}}'' as another badass CIA lady (who also gets her KickingAssInAllHerFinery moment just like Paloma again).
37	* DyeHard: She often dyes her naturally brown hair blonde. However, she does have films in which she appears as a brunette.
38	* MsFanservice: She has appeared nude, scantily clad or in sex scenes a number of times. For example, in ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' she spent her entire screentime in a [[SexyBacklessOutfit backless dress]] with a NavelDeepNeckline.
39	* PlayingAgainstType:
40	** Most of her roles are as [[BeautyEqualsGoodness pure-hearted heroines]]. However, in ''Film/{{Knock Knock\|2015}}'' she plays one of two young women who rape the main character.
41	** Her roles almost always have been as some sort of MsFanservice, but in ''Knives Out'' she gets to play a {{Chaste Hero}}ine.
42	* PlaysGreatEthnics: She's been cast as a Spaniard, a Dominican woman, ''Creator/MarilynMonroe''... and so forth. Funnily enough, this is a crucial plot point in ''Knives Out'', with the bigoted Thrombeys never bothering to work out where Marta is from. [[note]]This joke was meant to have a punchline of Marta being revealed as Cuban like Ana herself, but Ana herself pointed out that this would completely derail a plot point about her mother's immigration status.[[/note]]
43	* RomanceOnTheSet: She began dating Creator/BenAffleck on the set of the Creator/AdrianLyne film ''Deep Water''. They called it quits a year later, well before the movie would even be released due to [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic COVID-related delays]].
44	* StarMakingRole: Although she was already somewhat well established by that point, the role of Marta Cabrera in ''Film/KnivesOut'' upped her profile significantly, even earning her a Golden Globe nomination.
45	* ThoseTwoActors: She has been reunited with certain co-stars on multiple different projects:
46	** Creator/KeanuReeves in ''Film/{{Knock Knock\|2015}}'', ''{{Film/Exposed}}'', and the upcoming ''Ballerina''.
47	** Creator/EdgarRamirez in ''Film/HandsOfStone'' and ''Film/WaspNetwork''
48	** Creator/RyanGosling in ''Film/BladeRunner2049'' and ''Film/{{The Gray Man\|2022}}''.
49	** Creator/DanielCraig in ''Film/KnivesOut'' and ''Film/NoTimeToDie''
50	** Creator/ChrisEvans in ''Knives Out'', '' The Gray Man'', and ''{{Film/Ghosted\|2023}}''.
51	** Creator/WagnerMoura in ''Wasp Network'', ''Film/{{Sergio}}'' and ''The Gray Man''.
52	** Creator/AdrienBrody in ''Blonde'' and ''Ghosted''.
53	* {{Typecasting}}: She has her agent refuse scripts where she'd be a SpicyLatina because she doesn't want this to happen and she views it as a stereotype. She almost didn't read for ''Knives Out'' when Marta was initially described as a "pretty Latina caretaker".
54	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: She read for the part of [[Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} Selina Kyle]] in ''Film/{{The Batman\|2022}}'' before Creator/ZoeKravitz was cast.
55	* WhatBeautifulEyes: She's been noted for her eyes that are unusually [[TechnicolorEyes golden]] instead of just green-yellow.
