Jackie Cruz (born August 8, 1986)[1] [2] is a Dominican–American [4] actress, singer and former model. She is known for her role as Marisol "Flaca" Gonzales on the Netflix original series Orange Is the New Black .
Early life
[ edit ]
Born Jacqueline Chavez[5] [6] in Queens, New York on August 8, 1986, Cruz grew up between Los Angeles, California , and Santiago, Dominican Republic .[7] [8] She was raised by a single mother,[9] and she speaks fluent English and Spanish.[10] [8] Cruz was inspired to become an entertainer at the age of seven after watching Whitney Houston in The Bodyguard .[7] [8] She attended Alexander Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, where she was a member of the school's music academy.[7]
At age 16, Cruz moved out of her mother's apartment and became homeless.[8] When she was 17, she was the victim of a car accident where she suffered a collapsed lung , fell into a coma and required brain surgery.[9] [11] [7] [8] Her song "Sweet Sixteen" is based on the incident.[8]
Music career
[ edit ]
When Cruz was in high school, she worked with will.i.am 's producers[who? ] in a girl group called Krush Velvet, although the group never signed to a record label.[8] Her debut extended play , Hollywood Gypsy , was released independently in 2010.[12]
Cruz is a part of a band called "The Family Portrait".[13]
Acting career
[ edit ]
In 2009, Cruz began making appearances on the E! television series Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami . She and Kourtney Kardashian became friends after meeting in an art class, which led to further appearances on the series.[11] [14] In one episode, Cruz and Kardashian were filmed kissing, an incident that Kardashian later stated she was "so embarrassed" by.[14] Although Cruz initially stated that she and Kardashian remained friends following the incident,[11] Kardashian later stated that she "can never talk to [Cruz] again".[14]
Cruz cites Rita Moreno as an acting influence.[8]
Cruz was working as a model[3] and a waitress at New York City restaurant Lavo[citation needed ] before she was cast as Marisol "Flaca" Gonzales on the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black . Originally a recurring character for the first three seasons, it was announced in April 2015 that she would be promoted to series regular for the fourth season.[15]
In early 2022 she filmed a starring role in the romantic comedy, "Things Like This", directed by fellow Orange Is the New Black actor, Max Talisman .[16]
In May 2022, she wrapped filming on the horror-thriller History of Evil . Her recasting into the role wasn’t known until afterward.[17]
Personal life
[ edit ]
In 2016, Cruz told AfterEllen : "I like the person whether it's a woman—we don't like to be labeled. I'm in a relationship with a man right now, but I've liked women in the past. So I guess we don't want to be labeled. We don't really talk about it, but the actions speak louder than words, am I right? So you're seeing it. You're living it."[18] [19]
In August 2020, Cruz married artist Fernando Garcia.[20] In December 2021, Cruz and Garcia announced they're expecting twins.[21] In March 2022, Cruz announced on Instagram that she had welcomed her twins.[22]
