I mean, most of her filmography after that comprises of low-budget, B-movies. And the last major thing that I heard about or from her was her accusing Roman Polanski of sexually assaulting her when she was about 16 years old. I also know that she made a guest starring spot on Seinfeld, which was perhaps the highest profile acting gig that she had outside of The Golden Child.
shareI wonder if Charlotte was perceived as being "too exotic" looking to cast as a lead in mainstream projects. Charlotte Lewis is I believe (without looking it up) of Chilean, Iraqi, and Irish (from her mother's side of the family) descent. Yet in The Golden Child, we're suppose to assume that she's playing a Tibetan high priestess with a British accent.
share"Too exotic"? Could be. I find her absolutely stunning in this film and will sometimes watch just to see her.

Her exotic look made it difficult for a racially troubled Hollywood to cast her - There weren’t enough roles for Ms. Lewis’ “looks”, and so she was limited in her post-Golden Child career.
she was soo hot
