One of Hugh Hefner’s transatlantic Playboy model beauties, Charlotte Lewis, was born in Kensington, London of mixed heritage with a mother of Irish decent and a father of Iraqi-Chilean roots.

As an aspiring actress, at the age of 16, Charlotte made her movie debut with the renowned film director, Roman Polanski in his 1986 movie, Pirates, in he role of María-Dolores de la Jenya de la Calde, alongside veteran actor Walter Matthau.

But Charlotte’s big break came in the form of The Golden Child where she played the role of Kee Nang in the movie that also starred Eddie Murphy and Charles Dance, also in 1986.

In 1992 she starred opposite James Spader in Storyville. But despite these early successes, her career developed only intermittently. In 2003 she starred in the film Hey DJ.

But it is her appearance on the cover of Playboy magazine that has kept Charlotte Lewis in the minds and imaginations of men worldwide as they add the July 1993 Playboy magazine to their collections.

In 1996 Charlotte was  ranked #7 in Celebrity Sleuth’s 25 Sexiest Women of that year and during her hey day, Charlotte dated Mickey Rourke, Eric Clapton, Charlie Sheen and entrepreneur Eric Haymes.

Charlotte has since left the limelight far behind and now lives in her home town of London where she cares for her son and her mother.
