Who is Chloe Lattanzi?
Born on January 17, 1986, in Los Angeles, California, the 36-year-old is a singer and has a legal marijuana farm in Oregon. According to Marca, her mother was the inspiration for the marijuana project that she runs.
Olivia had Chloe with ex-husband Matt Lattanzi, an actor and dancer she met on the set of her 1980 film ‘Xanadu,’ to whom she was married from 1984 to 1995. In a conversation with Billboard in 2015, Olivia said, "I met Chloe's dad on the set of Xanadu, so, without that film, Chloe wouldn't be here. She was the real 'magic' that came out of that film!"
As per People, the star put her career on hold for a few years to be with her daughter. In 1994, Chloe, who is engaged to James Driskill for over a decade, played the daughter of her mother's character in the CBS 'A Christmas Romance' and then again in the 2001 film 'The Wilde Girls.' Chloe also appeared in films like 'Dead 7' in 2016 and 'Sharknado 5: Global Swarming' in 2017, alongside Olivia. She told Entertainment Tonight in a 2017 interview, "It was amazing. I got to work with a lot of the people I've worked with before and it's such a loving environment. It happened really quickly. I learned my lines basically in like two days and it was a lot of fun. It's very playful, you know? It's not so serious. We had a good time."
According to People, for Chloe's 2016 album 'No Pain,' she collaborated with mother and DJ Dave Audé on 'You Have to Believe,' which became the first Billboard No 1 single on Dance Club Songs chart.
