It looks like de Armas has dual citizenship with Spain and Cuba. She was born in Cuba and started her career there, so arguably the best way to describe her in the lede is simply as "a Cuban actress". However, she is a dual citizen, and also worked early in her acting career in Spain. Thus, arguably, the lede (and ((Short description))) could/should say "is a Cuban and Spanish actress".
What the lede absolutely should not say is either "Spanish-Cuban actress", or "Cuban actress of Spanish descent", as per MOS:ETHNICITY.
Reading the article I see one notable role with a Cuban connection, the rest are Spanish. She could be described solely as a Spanish actress based on where she did most of her notable work. Describing her as just a Cuban actress is not appropriate. Cuban and Spanish actress, or Spanish and Cuban actress, which mean exactly the same thing, would work for this article though based both on her citizenship and where notable activities occurred and where she started acting. Spanish-Cuban and Cuban-Spanish are ethnicity descriptors and don't mean the same thing, although both are accurate for this subject, they don't belong in the intro sentence.

Describing her solely as a Spanish actress is definitely insufficient, as she was born in Cuba and IS Cuban. She had Spanish citizenship from her grandparents, I believe, and did do a lot of her early work in Spain, so I would think "a Cuban and Spanish" actress is fine (I would actually think just "a Cuban actress" is sufficient and preferable to me, but not enough to argue if there are other strong opinions).

FWIW, I'm fine with "Cuban and Spanish actress" as the solution – it's probably the most accurate result. But it looks like this has never been stable at this article – for quite a while it was "Spanish-Cuban" (which is not correct, no matter how you slice it). Before that (e.g. c. 2018), it was just "Cuban actress". Bottom line: The only correct options here are "Cuban actress" or "Cuban and Spanish actress" – it has to be one or the other. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:51, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is an ethnicity descriptor meaning Cuban with some amount of Spanish ancestry. While true it is not a nationality description which is what goes in the intro. Also she is Cuban-Spanish - A Spaniard of some amount of Cuban ancestry but that is also an ethnicity. Spanish and Cuban gives both nationalities equal weight and is appropriate for someone with dual nationality and notable activities in both countries.

Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. [emphasis mine] Similarly, previous nationalities or the place of birth should not be mentioned in the lead unless relevant to the subject's notability. "Spanish-Cuban actress" is an ethnicity. The second sentence is what is relevant in this case – nationalitiesnot ethnicities are relevant here. Therefore, the correct construction is "Cuban and Spanish actress", not "Spanish-Cuban actress". --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:20, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think I get it now. I'm only asking because, aside from having a hard time distinguishing between the examples given above, there are some articles that have two nationalities in one such as the "Cuban-Spanish" one. Callmemirela 🍁 talk20:10, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Based on the above discussion, most comments seem OK with "Cuban and Spanish actress". There should be enough reasoning to support reversing the inevitable replacement of the " and " dual nationality description with the "-" ethnicity tag. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:15, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. I'll change it myself, though I'd like to leave it for a few days to make sure there's no further comments... OK, I see that it's already been done. When reverting back to this format in the future, it would be good if editors referred to this Talk page (discussion) when reverting. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 05:01, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Relative to the rest of the article, the section on personal life could include more detail besides her dating life. Given that de Armas has likely been in several interviews and talk shows, extra information about her could be added to the article. It would also provide an opportunity to quote her directly.

An SNL episode is a bit hard to use as a reference even with the required time stamp and it talks about plans. Hopefully something will be written about it in a reliable source after it happens so we have a source that can be more easily verified. Geraldo Perez (talk) 03:57, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
