The Harriet The Spy and The Lost World: Jurassic Park star is the oldest child of Guyanese parents, and she is actually the first member of her family to be born in the United States. When asked about her ethnicity in a recent interview, Chester had this to say:
“Both of my parents were born in Georgetown, Guyana in South America. Most people associate Guyana with the Caribbean/West Indies (that’s if they have ever even heard of it), but it’s a small country on the tip of the continent. In regards to ethnicity, my brother and I are of African American, East Indian, West Indian/Caribbean, Amerindian, with a splash Caucasian and Chinese!”
