Charlotte Lake

Charlotte Lake grew up in the countryside of Sweden, but by the age of 16 her creative-yet-restless spirit was poised to discover more. Securing a spot in the prestigious Swedish Ballet Academy, Lake left school and moved alone to Stockholm to begin her training. A true Swedish beauty - it wasn't long before a modeling agent discovered her and once again, Charlotte's path would venture further from the forests of Sweden, this time taking her to Greece, Italy, Spain and beyond. Intuition, as well as a lifelong mentor urged Charlotte to follow the path to acting - where she knew the continued pursuits of her creative talents could be explored. She immersed herself into the craft, initially studying at the famed Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute in New York where her natural talent was revealed and she quickly accelerated to the most advanced level of studies. The study of acting continued and Charlotte went on to further hone her work under the guidance of noted industry visionaries such as Joan Scheckel and Harold Guskin. While in New York, Lake starred in theatre productions such as Miss Julie and The Boomboom Room among others, and it was her moving performance as the cerebral palsy afflicted Scarlett in Judith Thompson's Off-Broadway production Lion in the Streets that earned Charlotte nightly standing ovations to sold out houses. Building a resume rich with art house film productions, it was Charlotte's performance in director Tony Jannelli's Five Years of Forever that earned her an honorary mention for Best Actress at the highly acclaimed Accolade Film Festival. The film later sold at Cannes and was internationally distributed. In the indie hit feature film Let Them Chirp Awhile, Ms. Lake showed her penchant for comedy, and again stole hearts as the star-crossed love interest of lead Justin Rice. It was her turn in Let Them Chirp Awhile which led her to being called to Hollywood. Charlotte's career continues to flourish and bloom and is richly nurtured by her husband, Mark and their beloved rescue dog Tarzan.
