#	Quote
1	Having a director like Michael see me and take a chance and have a process like we have had, was something I envisioned since I was a little girl. Not necessarily doing a movie about strippers. – on her film Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2000)
2	The pageant was such a fluke. I mean, I was living in an orphanage, and my foster mother bet me $150 to go out for this thing. Nobody, including myself, thought that a foster kid could be a beauty queen. – on being Miss Teen USA 1993
3	Starring in Ricky Martin’s video for “She’s All I Ever Had” was something she is very proud of, and it definitely helped her get back on her feet financially.

#	Fact
1	She has a brother named Duane and a sister named Diana. Diana is one year younger than she.

3	Her mother was mentally disturbed and lost custody of Charlotte, her brother, and her sister Diana.
4	She is a spokeswoman for foster children.
5	She won Miss Teen USA in 1993, wearing a $37 evening gown.
6	She experienced poverty during her childhood.
7	She was Miss Vermont Teen USA.
8	She spent sixteen years of her childhood in foster homes.
9	Charlotte was an out-of-work actress when Ricky Martin picked her headshot from the hundreds submitted for his romantic video.
10	After learning that Lopez was the last name of her maternal grandfather who abandoned her mother, she changed her last name to Ayanna. She feels she has been blessed, as Ayanna means “blessed.” She attended the University of California at Irvine and moved to Vermont with her mother and siblings in 1977.
