Like the character of Lola, Burghardt also has autism. Though “Cha Cha Real Smooth” is her first role in a movie, she has been auditioning for parts for a number of years. She recalled what initially drew her to acting.
The cha-cha-cha (also called cha-cha), is a dance of Cuban origin. It is danced to the music of the same name introduced by the Cuban composer and violinist Enrique Jorrin in the early 1950s. This rhythm was developed from the danzón-mambo.

Does Lola have a brain tumor in real life?
Kylie Weatherby was diagnosed with a glioblastoma (GBM) – the same type of tumour as EastEnders character Lola Pearce – whilst pregnant with twins in May 2021.
The scenes struck a chord with Kylie Weatherby, 34, and Laura Mahon, 30, who have both been diagnosed with a glioblastoma (GBM) – the same type of tumour Lola has. Big EastEnders fan Kylie was pregnant for the first time with twins when she received her devastating diagnosis.
The mother of two delivered her twins by emergency Caesarean section after having a seizure at 36 weeks pregnant. She was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) - an aggressive and fast-growing form of brain cancer.
Lola's diagnosis with a GBM means that, like many patients diagnosed with this devastating disease, she faces a bleak prognosis. GBM is the most common type of primary high-grade brain tumour in adults.
Heartbreaking recent episodes of EastEnders saw terminally ill Lola Pearce-Brown (Danielle Harold) in her final days, after her shock diagnosis of a brain tumour.
EastEnders will kick off Lola Pearce's storyline next week, after she suffers a terrifying seizure at Lexi's pageant. The BBC soap has confirmed that it will be exploring a brain tumour story with Lola, with reports suggesting that this will ultimately take Danielle Harold out of the show.
How is Lola related to Billy Mitchell in EastEnders? Lola is the granddaughter of Billy Mitchell. The legendary EastEnders character had her father Dan with Julie Perkins when they were very young. Dan was put into care, and neither of his real parents ever saw him again.
Dan raised Lola on his own for many years and told her Emma had abandoned them. Due to his alcoholism, Lola was later placed into care and Dan lost contact with her. He was eventually diagnosed with liver failure and died in April 2011, when he was thirty six years old.
It was announced in October 2022 that Lola Pearce (played by Danielle Harold) would die from a brain tumour in EastEnders, and sadly the fan-favourite character is due to lose her battle with the disease very soon.
Emma Harding (previously Pearce) is the mother of Lola Pearce-Brown and grandmother of Lexi Pearce. She was also the ex-wife of Dan Pearce. She made her first appearance on 25 January 2023, and is portrayed by Patsy Kensit.
Lola's battle with a terminal brain tumour led to an emergency hospital stay this week, when she began slurring her words and suffered other worrying symptoms, leading her to panic and shout at young daughter Lexi (Isabella Brown) to leave the room.
Emma then paid Lola a visit, where she explained that her own mum - Lola's gran - was an alcoholic who neglected and physically abused her. Emma added that her mother had never been loved, and she left her family home aged 16 in fear of turning out like her.
Although Jamie has told The Sun that he is just friends with Danielle, he has admitted in the past they are extremely close and get on well on set. He said at the time: "We have a laugh on set, we know each other inside out, and we know what makes each other laugh.
EastEnders has revealed that Lola's long-lost mother Emma was a victim of domestic violence. Earlier this week, Billy Mitchell finally outed Emma's identity to Lola after she'd been moonlighting in Walford for days as new salon client 'Nicole'.
Lola was introduced as the granddaughter of Billy Mitchell (played by Perry Fenwick, pictured). The character of Lola was announced on 7 June 2011 and she was created as an extension of the established Mitchell family.
Billy had been putting this off but eventually saw Lola in her open casket before breaking down whilst writing a message on her coffin. He believed that he failed her and wrote 'I'm sorry I wasn't good enough love Pops xx. '
Lola's partner Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) is a foster son of both Billy and Phil Mitchell, while Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) - the father of Lola's daughter Lexi (Isabella Brown) - is a distant relative of Lola's through Billy and Phil.
Ben broke down as he realised he'd missed his chance to say goodbye to the mother of his child — and found no comfort from Billy and Jay as they were furious about his decision to flee to America as Lola was dying. "You abandoned Lola, you abandoned your own daughter," Jay seethed.
Having spent the whole night by her side, waiting for her tragic final moments, Jay headed off to the bathroom for just a couple of minutes, leaving Lexi asleep next to her mum. When he returned, he made the heart breaking discovery that she had died in the short time he was away from her.
