Early Life
George Edward Lopez was born in Mission Hills, Los Angeles, on April 23, 1961. His early life remained unstable as his father abandoned him and his mother before his first birthday. Then his mother left him to her parents. Benita and Refugio Gutierrez raised Lopez in the stead of his parents.
Education
Lopez went to San Fernando Elementary School and San Fernando High School. These were both underfunded schools since his grandparents could not afford to send him to private school.

Career Breakout
In 2000, Sandra Bullock reached out to Lopez to create Hispanic-oriented sitcoms. She had noticed a lack of representation of his demographic in sitcoms and thought he should produce his own show.

Lopez accepted the opportunity, and ABC picked up the show ‘George Lopez’ despite their earlier criticized portrayal of Hispanics.
