Vanessa was given the nickname "Midge" by her film school friends at the University of Texas at Austin, as she was the shortest one in their group. While working on her first union show, "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide", there were five crew members named Vanessa so the First AD asked if Vanessa had a nickname and she's been called Midge on set ever since.
