Connie Kwan Lew was born in Los Angeles' Kaiser Hospital to parents Robert and Shirley Lew. She has a brother Wesley, one year younger, and a sister, Tiffany, eleven years younger. Connie got her start acting when a friend's mom (who was an agent) was looking for an outgoing Chinese girl. Her first job was a commercial for Seagram's Tonic Water. A school project where Connie pretended to be Johnny Carson in a mock version of the Tonight Show led to her appearance on the real thing. She became one of Hollywood's most prolific young actresses, with over a dozen guest appearances before she was a teenager! Her most recent acting job was a trio of commercials for Charles Schwabb.
