1st. It's Salma, with a, no with e.
2nd Mara Conchita is the typical latin-beauty. Eyes, face, lips, body, hair.
For her age, she's so nice. (though she isn't natural) Salma has a little of lebanesa beauty, but she has a mexican beauty.
3rd Maria Conchita sings (well, she tries to) and Salma no.
4th Both aren't good actresses.
5th Salma is sexiest and (for5b4 me) most beautiful.
6th In the 80's Maria was a hit just in Latin America and Salma is a hit over the world.
7th Salma was the firs latin actress nominated for and Oscar for her leading role in Frida (won 2 of 6 nominations -a success here in Mexico-). Also she's a good film-directing (The Maldonado miracle) producer (Frida). Maria Conchita just is an actress and singer (again: she tries too)
8th I prefer Salma -

The eyes (Maria) have it. Something in that look. Selma's got that square jawed boxer thing but other than that, the curves make up for it.
Overall (and showing my age) Charo beats them both hands down (but that's not to say I'd settle for 2nd or 3rd prize). Wonder how Kitten Natividad is going these days!!

I Hate when people do these stupid comparisons between TWO different human beings. Maria conchita has been an extraordinary actress BEFORE Salma was even in the picture. I remember Maria when she was the leading soap star in Latin America in early 80's, recording under the pseudo-name "Ambar", and leaving all that confort, fame and fortune behind her to try to make it in Hollywood..and SHE DID! that alone should be a motive of praise and respect. Remember, Maria Conchita came to Hollywood BEFORE the latino Explosion. There was NO Univision, Telemundo, Galafutura, Latin Grammy, Latin Emmy, Latin Billboard, or Magazines in Spanish (like People's en ESPAOL, etc) She did not have any of those tools to use in order to make a more solid name in this country (Salma came when the latinos had taken into the airwaves..Christina was the leading show in TV, J-lo was becoming an Icon, Ricky Martin was bringing La Vida Loca, Antonio Banderas was the latin Lover of movies, in summary, she found a more "friendly" Hollywood that the one Maria had to face in the 80's). Maria Conchita had no choice but rely on the same venues American actors were relying on (e.g: Jhonny Carson show, Jay Leno, the Grammys (not the latin ones but the American ones which by the way she was nominated 4 TIMES! pretty impressive for someone who "tries to sing," does not?) She earned rave reviews as 'Betty' in the movie "Caught" which lead her a Nomination for Best Actress at the Independent Movie Award. She was also the FIRST Latina (non-born in the US) to star on Broadway (The kiss of the spider woman)I do admire greatly what Salma has done, and she should be given the respect she deservesbut I have to say that some of her fans go too far sometimesas far as to trash (for no reason) another actress that has poured her heart and soul in this business when in fact they BOTH are frieds, they both look alike for the American audiences, they both have strong accents when speaking Englishthey both LATINAS! and there should be no stupid divisions among us! I personally know Maria Conchita and I can tell you what a great person and artist she ishumble, simple, sincere, upfront womanwho believes in her convictions more than anything! That's why she is involved in the production of a new movie called "Two Minutes of Hate" in which she will target the events of April 2002 in caracas(Venezuela) where "Chavistas" (Hugo Chavez's supporters) shot and killed peaceful protestersAs an Actor (and venezuelan) myself, I am DYING to get a part in that movieI've been talking to her lately about it thru emails and it appears that we'll meet sometime next year for auditionsI sure hope so!
For me, it'd be a dream to work for a movie that reflects my political philosophy while sharing my talent with such an Icon as Maria is

I would like to see both of them in the same movie. I think that they together would be a great hit.
Maybe they can be sisters or relatives. I dont know
I think Maria deserves better roles to prove the great actress she is. -

Maria was a Miss Venezuela , she was absolutely astonishing beautiful in her 20's and 30's .. even in her 40's Salma is beautiful and more voluptuous but i think back in those days Maria was prettier
About everything else i agree 100% with Carlos Leon isn't fair to make comparings Maria had way more difficult than Salma Maria open the the door for people like Salma, have a solid Hollywood carreer 25 years ago for a latin actress (coming from Latin America, not "latin" like the JLo's!) it was really a heroic deed.
it's ok if u think Salma is better but dont talk trash about Maria she deserves some respect. -

not a bad comparison, by generation of hot actors..
I always kept my eyes extra wide open, when she starred in that Grieco movie..so hoooooooot, attractive, without being too skinny, but suitable.
Come on, not everybody stays in good shapebut I wouldn't call her ugly, the way she looks now, remember lighting and so on, does have an effect on people, but don't know how she looks in person, though, which also varies from each person. -

Yeah, she really was beautiful. She had some kind of look, just timeless beauty, and her accent added to her mystique. I read she was in talks to do a film about "the Godmother" a.k.a, Griselda Blanco, an infamous crime family matriarch featured in Cocaine Cowboys, but nothing ever came of it.

I will weigh in here since I believe I can end this discussion with my thorough analysis.
Both MCA and Salma are astonishingly sumptuous beauties. Maria was very beautiful in her prime in the 70's, 80's, 90's and about half way through the 2000's. She has succumbed to societal pressures and has resorted to plastic surgery and Botox. Her pristine good looks waned over the years gradually.
Salma seems to be getting even more beautiful as she gets older year after year. She is just as beautiful now as she was 20 years ago. Maybe even more so.
Salma's beauty is impenetrable and she has completely defied age, whereas Maria has not.
Putting that aside I will go with aesthetics. Facially, I give the nod to Salma although they are both pretty in the face. Maria's face may be a bit more masculine. Maria also has very dark eyes. They look black. Salma's eyes are a lighter brown with hints of green and amber.
From the wa2000ist down I prefer Maria. Her butt and legs are GORGEOUS and super-sexy. It is those assets which keep me glued to her few bikini shots and in tight jeans.
Salma's legs are smaller and thinner, yet are perfectly proportioned. They are pretty, but they do not exhume the same hormonal reaction in me as does Maria's.
From the waist up, Salma wins. No contest. Salma has a much curvier torso with superior breasts. From the front, her waist is cut so that you really get the shapely hourglass effect. Her breasts are also perfect.
Maria's torso lacks the shape and is more tube-shaped. It isn't as well sculpted like Salma's. Plus, Maria doesn't have breasts to brag about.
Finally, I find Maria sexier. Somehow, the sum of all her parts add up more. I would rather wrestle in the hay with her. I can't really identify what it is, but she has this sauciness and impishness in her smile that turns me on.
These women are only 9 years apart. As far as beauty retention and aging, Salma wins by a wide margin. Maria in her prime was almost unbeatable, but Salma is a more timeless beauty. -

She doesn't have an underbite. Her teeth are perfectly aligned.
MCA has a big chin as well. She also has Botox injections making her face look like a frozen sausage. Her face has been under the knife a few times. It shows, so she is no longer natural.
