Charlotte Kate Fox (born August 14, 1985) is an American film, TV, and theatrical actress and musician. She was cast as the first non-Japanese heroine of an NHK Asadora: the series Massan broadcast on Japanese television.
Fox is born Charlotte Elizabeth Demo Varney in Santa Fe, New Mexico to her parents, Cynthia Demo and Edward Latin Varney III, on August 14, 1985. Edward (Ted) was in the construction business, and Cynthia (Cindy) was a real estate agent. Fox's older half-brother, Matthew, is sixteen years older than Fox, and as a result, Fox did not grow up with him. When Fox was nine, her parents divorced. Her mother remarried John Fox and soon Charlotte welcome a little brother, William Demo Fox.
Fox began ballet at the age of five and continued her dancing career until the age of sixteen, when she began acting in local theater productions. At sixteen, Fox left her Catholic high school, and enlisted in a home-school program in order to devote more time to theater and film. She graduated high school early and began taking classes at a community college at age sixteen.
Fox attended Marymount Manhattan College for seven months studying theater, but left New York in favor of the desert. She soon enrolled at the College of Santa Fe in her hometown, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and graduated with honors with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater in 2008.
After a two-year string of odd jobs (including being the personal assistant to John Walsh of the TV show America's Most Wanted), Fox applied to Northern Illinois University and was accepted into a class of eighteen other students in the fall of 2010. Three years later, Fox graduated with an MFA. During her time at Northern Illinois University, Fox also attended summer workshops held at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City.
On May 16, 2015, Fox received an honorary doctorate from the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, formerly known as the College of Santa Fe, during the commencement ceremony where Fox was the commencement speaker.
