Small scar on her forehead

Blonde hair and blue eyes

My greatest accomplishment is receiving my role on Guiding Light (1952).

[on playing a prostitute in Finding Amanda (2008)] There are things in her that I think everyone can relate to. After I play every character, I always feel a little different. I've experienced something that's not my life. It's never easy. But you want to do these challenging things all the time.

[being nude in the film X] It was an exercise in me feeling confident about my body. I was pretty proud of myself because you spend a lot of time in your twenties just hating yourself. And then at a certain point you get this and you're like, 'Screw it, let's do it.'

Oh, wow, I wish there was an American Dreams (2002) reunion more than anything. I love that show, and I was so young when I was on it. It was so ahead of its time, because it was about singing and dancing and history. All of the things that people love to watch now. We're all still friends, so if Netflix wants to do a Gilmore Girls (2000) or Arrested Development (2003) sorta thing with American Dreams (2002), we'd be in.
