“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.”

Introduction
Charlotte Ayanna is a hot Puerto Rican actress that looks younger than she actually is. Awesome.
Life Story
Ayanna was born as Charlotte Lopez in San Juan, Puerto Rico, but moved to Vermont at an early age. She had a troubled childhood, spending thirteen years in foster homes after her mother, Emma, was judged to be mentally unfit to look after her and her two siblings. In 1994, she was adopted. She has since become a spokeswoman for foster children.
Her first national exposure was in 1993, when she became Miss Teen USA. She did this wearing a $37 evening gown. Charlotte co-authored a book titled Lost in the System, published in 1996, detailing her childhood and subsequent rise to Miss Teen USA. She later changed her last name to "Ayanna", meaning "blessed" in Cherokee.
Following her pageant victory, she made guest appearances on television shows including Weird Science and Entourage as an obsessed fan of Vincent Chase who sends him a nude picture of herself. She can probably thank Ricky Martin of all people for her break; apparently she was an out of work actress until he picked her out of a stack of images for She's All I Ever Had video.
Her film roles including Jawbreaker (1999), The Rage: Carrie 2 (1999), Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2000), and Kate & Leopold (2001). She also starred with Sean Patrick Flanery as the sexy vampiress in the horror-comedy The Insatiable (2006).
