Went so far into character for the part of the disturbed teen Olympia in Instrucciones para mi Funeral that she was kicked out of her house until the shooting was finished.

Did her first magazine cover at age two weeks old with her mother Rosita Parsons and walked her first runway at age 15 for the top Chilean designer Ruben Campos.

Originally was cast in a Spanish language role in Nicolas Lopez's Aftershock, and it was only after speaking with producer Eli Roth that the crew realized she could speak English with no accent. They had only spoken with her in Spanish before that point.

Although she often plays an American, her first language is Spanish. She grew up in Santiago Chile and as a teenager lived in Atlanta, Georgia. At age 16 she returned to Chile and finished high school there, and then attended Lee Strasberg Studio in New York. At the time of her arrival in Atlanta at age 13 Lorenza spoke English with a thick accent that she quickly lost.

Nearly drowned in the Amazon while filming her scene in the river for The Green Inferno. The screams in the final film are her screaming for her life. She eventually was rescued when the stunt supervisor realized she wasn't acting and was yelling cut in Spanish.

Her favorite directors are Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar, Quentin Tarantino, Jean-Jaques Beineix, Stanley Kubrick, and Baz Luhrman.
