Born on 26th September, 1981 to Cuban-native parents in New Jersey and raised in Waldorf, Maryland, Christina simply thrived to become the starlet that she is today. Her career in the spotlight began at a very young age when she was cast as Annie Warbucks in the theatrical musical rendition of Annie. Shortly thereafter, Christina made her next big move to the Disney Channel. No, she wasn't part of that cult-like Mickey Mouse Club that has somehow spawned today's generation of pop stars, including Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake.
Actually, she declined an offer from the club altogether. A very bold move on her part and at such a tender age, we might add. Instead, she worked as a junior journalist on Disney's Movie Surfers. Apparently, she had her sights set on bigger and better things. This exposure to the world of entertainment helped inspire Christina to pursue her acting career even further. At thirteen years of age, her mother helped her pick up the pace by bringing her to California. It was there that she was able to take her next big step by appearing in a flurry of TV sitcoms. This was a huge boost for Christina as her face was now being seen on shows such as Clueless, Sister, Sister, Smart Guy, as well as portraying a recurring character on Get Real.
