Aside from acting, she is an accomplished singer, too.
Cruz has also dealt with more than her fair share of heartbreak over the years.
But I still am his daughter.

However, the women in her life remain her inspiration.
Cruz’s mother moved them to California when the actress was 15 to pursue her dream.
One day, Cruz was involved in acar accident.

So my eyes were crooked and my face was crooked, I couldn’t smile."
She woke up a couple weeks later, not recognizing who she was.
Cruz added, “It didn’t look like me anymore.

I didn’t know who it was.
I was very depressed and I tried to kill myself a few times with pills.”
Thankfully, after a lengthy recovery process, Cruz got back on track.
