One of America's highest profile TV actresses, Constance is a featured actress in American Family and on the prime-time hit The George Lopez Show.

Her forays into the world of the big screen include a starring role as Yolanda in the highly celebrated Samuel Goldwyn film Tortilla Soup in 2001, and in Selena, opposite Jennifer Lopez.

Her career began when she was selected out of a group of 500 hopefuls to dance in David Bowie's Glass Spider Tour as a teenager.
