While one of the most popular actresses in the 1990s, she fell into oblivion in the mid-2000s, however, she made headlines again when she accused director Roman Polanski of sexually assaulting her when she was 16. Additionally, she said she didn’t stop acting voluntarily, but that Hollywood as a whole blacklisted her because she threatened to publicly condemn Polanski.

Youth and education: from London to Paris
Charlotte was born in the capital of England into a mixed family, as her mother is half Irish and her father, whom she never has, is half Iraqi and half Chilean. He was/is a physicist, but there isn’t much information about their names or personal lives. However, we do know Charlotte has always had a close relationship with her mother, whom she cites as her “hero and inspiration.” In 1978, at the age of 11, she was cast as Samantha in the hit British television series “Grange Hill”, which aired on the BBC for 30 years and over 600 episodes. In 1982, she enrolled at Bishop Douglass School in Finchley, London, but did not graduate until years later. Her role in “Grange Hill” has already made her a star in her home country. At the age of just 14, Charlotte moved to Paris to pursue a modeling career, but living alone in the French capital proved to be a bad decision for Lewis, as she indulged in copious amounts of cocaine and alcohol. “I was rebelling against everything,” Lewis says when asked about this time. “I realized I looked like I was around 110 and my body couldn’t take it anymore.”
Early career: pirates
In the mid-1980s, French-Polish director Roman Polanski began living in Paris, fleeing US authorities after being accused of drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl. Unable to continue his work in the United States, Polanski was forced to collaborate with mostly European actors and actresses. In 1983, through a mutual friend in the industry, he met the young Charlotte who was auditioning for a role in one of his films; they hit it off immediately and she became his new protege. Although she was only 16, she was mature beyond her years, mainly due to her experiences living in Paris, and in 1986 Lewis took on the only female lead in the hit hit ‘Pirates’. . Critics praised the 18-year-old British actress’ performance, predicting a bright future for her, however, despite the initial success, rumors began to swirl about her relationship with Polanski. ‘Roman never mixes the useful with the pleasant’, she commented. The role of María-Dolores de la Jenya de la Calde was difficult, but Charlotte delivered a stellar performance. At the 1987 Oscars, the film was nominated for Best Costume Design, but ultimately missed out.
Continued success: The Golden Child, Dial: Help and more
The same year, she appeared alongside Eddie Murphy and Charles Dance in “The Golden Child”; although this film was initially panned by critics, it became one of the cult classics of the 1980s. Subsequently, Charlotte took on the role of Jenny Cooper in “Dial: Help”, and as a lead actress, Charlotte finally got the chance to show off her skills. Even though it was an Italian film (the original title was ‘Minaccia d’amore’), it managed to attract worldwide attention, so the rest of the decade was relatively busy for Charlotte, as she ended 1989 with “Tripwire” and “The Legend of the Emerald Princess”, with the former featuring her in one of the lead roles.
The 1990s: the busiest period of his career
Charlotte used all the publicity and positive reviews as encouragement and motivation to work even harder. She started the decade with “Bare Essentials” and “Healing Hurts”, which achieved relative success. However, his most notable appearance in the early 90s was in “Broken badges”. This show revolves around a New Orleans cop. who will do anything to catch the bad guys, even if it means breaking the rules and causing trouble for his co-workers. When he is reassigned to California for several weeks, he teams up with several misfit cops to solve crimes. Charlotte continued to appear in less popular films, such as “Men of War”, “Embrace the Vampire” and “Every Dog Has Its Day”, but even though she failed to capitalize on the initial hype that surrounded her, she still became a respected actress.
Fade into the dark and come back
After appearing in “Henry X” and “Hey DJ” in 2003, with her childhood friend Jon Jacobs, she left the grid. Her fans and people in the movie industry were left baffled by her sudden passing, but it seemed like she had had enough of the drama surrounding Hollywood and wanted a break from all the pressure and obligations of acting. In 2019, however, she surprised everyone when it was announced that she would appear in “Lost Angelas,” a neo-noir thriller that premiered at the Method Fest Film Festival. We don’t know if she’s making a permanent return to the industry, or if it was just to rekindle her long-lost love for her profession.
Rape charges against Roman Polanski
On May 14, 2010, Charlotte shocked the world when she released a press release, claiming that longtime director and collaborator Roman Polanski sexually assaulted her when she was 16. Since Polanski is already known for his incident with Samantha Geimer, the public was outraged and called on Polanski to appear before a judge. Coincidentally, Polanski was under house arrest in Switzerland, awaiting extradition to the United States. California prosecutors have confirmed they will question Charlotte, in the presence of her lawyer, Gloria Allred, who is known for handling high-profile and controversial cases. People thought Polanski would spend the rest of his life in jail, if convicted of his two alleged crimes, but a small minority thought the situation was too coincidental to be true, and Charlotte was accused of lying, because that she had abandoned public attention and was “hungry for attention”. However, at the end of 2010, something unexpected happened.
Finding the truth
While the potential rape case against Polanski was still in the headlines, reporters from the French daily Liberation dug in. During their research, they found an interview with Lewis from 1999, in which she tells a completely different story. “I knew Roman had done something wrong in the United States, but I wanted to be with him,” she said. “I probably wanted him more than he wanted me.” This raised a significant number of eyebrows. Additionally, it was revealed that Polanski and Lewis were in a legitimate relationship and she eventually left him for Warren Beatty, who was, ironically, Polanski’s good friend. Hollywood figures even recalled holding hands at the Cannes Film Festival years after the supposed incident. Further searches followed and Liberation found another interview, this time from 1986. In this one, Lewis said, “I would love to have a romantic relationship with him, and a physical relationship. You can’t help but fall in love with him. But he didn’t want me like that. In the aftermath of this scandal, Charlotte was ‘torn to pieces by various newspapers’ because of his false allegations.
Personal life: Is Charlotte Lewis married? Does she have children?
As for her romantic commitments, there is almost no information in any credible sources that could accurately describe this element of her life. Charlotte herself tends to keep news of her partners completely private and has yet to come forward to respond to fan requests, but there has been no further controversy. According to available information, or lack thereof, Lewis is currently single. She has a son born in 2004, whose identity of the father is still secret. His current place of residence is in his hometown of London.
What is Charlotte Lewis net worth?

We don’t know if that amount is enough for more than a few years, given that she’s apparently no longer active as an actress, but it’s entirely plausible that she has some kind of side business.
