    Early life and career

    Charla Baklayan was born on July 23, 1976, in Aleppo, Syria to Armenian parents, Garbis and Rosine Baklayan. Her family then immigrated to the United States in 1978. Charla is a graduate of Dulaney High School and Towson University with a degree in Business Management.

    The Amazing Race 5

    On the audition tape for The Amazing Race, Charla lifted weights and even carried her teammate on her shoulders to prove her physical strength. During the actual show, Charla carried a 55-pound side of beef, blocked five slap shots by a professional hockey player, ate one kilogram (2.2 lb) of caviar, and ate a portion of an ostrich egg which was the equivalent of two dozen chicken eggs. At the time, Little People of America spokesman Dan Okenfuss said that "What Charla is doing on the show is great, introducing little people to the mainstream world, doing an activity average-sized people are doing."

    In January 2004, Faddoul competed on the fifth season of the CBS adventure reality show The Amazing Race with her cousin, Mirna Hindoyan. The two were eliminated in the seventh leg of the race, finishing in 6th place.
