Life and career

Ortega's father is of Mexican American descent and her mother is of mixed Mexican and Puerto Rican ancestry.[6][7] She is the fourth of six children, so she relates to her Stuck in the Middle character Harley Diaz, the middle child of seven.[2] Ortega became interested in acting from the age of six. Her mother thought she was not serious about it, but by age eight, with her mother's help and agents, Ortega began receiving auditions.[5]
