- Her petite figure.
- She co-wrote the song "If I Were Your Girl", which is performed by Paula Abdul and appears on her album "Head Over Heels" (1995).
- Her Wings (1990) character Helen Chapel, the cello-playing lunch counter waitress at the airport, was supposed to have been of Greek descent and played by actress Peri Gilpin of Frasier (1993) fame. Gilpin had to decline the role and it was eventually rewritten as a Texas girl to prepare the talents of Crystal.
- Crystal began as a child entertainer, singing with her father at revivals in the early 1970s.
- Singer Bobbie Gentry, best known for her single hit "Ode to Billy Joe", heard Crystal and Robyn perform at a gospel jubilee in Mississippi and hired them as a featured act in her Las Vegas show.
- Moved to Los Angeles following high school graduation and initially took up songwriting before developing a strong interest in acting.
- I knew that I did not want to be a statistic, that I wanted happiness within, and I wanted to be present because I knew what a great mover I was. I could move things and make things happen.
- We actors have to be conscious of ourselves; there's vanity involved. There's a competitiveness. There's something that's not appealing to me about myself that I try to get away from. I'm constantly trying. To see that in others, that doesn't feel like home to me.
