It is known that at the age of 15, Salazar worked in the entertainment industry and dreamed of becoming an actress.

At the same time, the actress played another role in the series Parenthood. The family drama created by Ron Howard premiered in 2010, and the story unfolds around three generations of the Braverman clan.
