\n\tLowriders Yvette Monreal Takes the Reveals She Almost Fainted When She Met <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>Co Star<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong> Eva Longoria<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/h2>\n

\n\tIt's full speed ahead for Yvette Monreal this week.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 24-year-old actress, known for roles on The Fosters and MTV's Faking It, makes her big-screen feature debut Friday in Ricardo de Montreuil's Lowriders, playing the studious, college-bound Claudia, a longtime friend of Gabriel Chavarria's street artist Danny, who's torn between wanting to pursue his passion and his family's roots in East L.A.'s macho car culture.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"My favorite thing about filming in L.A. is that it's closest to home," Monreal, who hails from Lawndale, Calif., tells E! News. "I've had family visit me on set so it's really nice to be able to show them what I'm working on without having to fly out. I have a few friends who have never even worked in L.A., so I've been lucky enough to have had nearly all my jobs here. I love it!"<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd this time she wasn't just working locally—she was making a movie with the likes of Demián Bichir and Eva Longoria, who play Danny's father and stepmother.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked if she had a particularly memorable memory from the set, Monreal recalled meeting Longoria for the first time. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"I walked up to her and Demián Bichir introduced me and was like, 'This is Yvette,'" the actress recalled. "She looked at me and said, 'Aw, you're so pretty,' and I nearly fainted but said 'thank you!'"<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMonreal admits she was <\/span><\/span><\/span>at <\/span><\/span><\/span>a bit of a loss afterward.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t"I'm pretty sure I was awkward and just stared at her until she walked away," she said. "I freakin' love her."<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite being a little starstruck, <\/span><\/span><\/span>Monreal more<\/span><\/span><\/span> than holds her own in the film amid all the guys—and the cars.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Image\"<\/a>"I mean, being around people who owned and cherished their lowriders was a pretty amazing thing to experience," the actress said. "You can see all the hard work and details that were put into these cars. Lowrider culture is way more than just building and putting these cars together for <\/span><\/span><\/span>show<\/span><\/span><\/span>, it's about the relationships people create during the experience, <\/span><\/span><\/span>loyalty<\/span><\/span><\/span> and trust—you become family."<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tBut while the ensemble kicked Lowriders into gear, we wanted to know more about Yvette Monreal herself—so she filled out our E!Q and here are 14 things you didn't know about the actress:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
