She was discovered by the Disney Channel, but her parents put school first and she continued to feed her passion by acting in local plays (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_%28theatre%29). She was the homecoming queen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homecoming_queen)[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanna_Garc%C3%ADa#cite_note-pics-3) at Florida's Tampa Catholic High School (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Catholic_High_School).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joanna_Garc%C3%ADa#cite_note-sptimes-2)
While attending Tampa Catholic High School, she was discovered by Nickelodeon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_%28TV_channel%29) and starred for two seasons as Samantha on Are You Afraid of the Dark? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_You_Afraid_of_the_Dark%3F_%28television_series %29).

I guessed. I got it right. I could tell she was an American and most likely famous. I simply Googled her prominent features and came up trumps. :)

He made reply, and was correct.

I never would have guessed.

Ohh. I thought he knew ahead of time and was posting it just to end the thread.

And I had forgotten, that you do not confine your selections to Europe.

Well if her mother is Spanish-American and her dad Cuban, she is probably mostly of Spanish ancestry if not entirely (I see no Amerindian or black, and Cuba had little immigration from Europe besides Spain).
