She and her husband, director Goran Gajić, emigrated to the States in 1991 to escape the boiling ethnic tensions in their home country. This would later fuel her acclaimed B5 speech in the episode "Severed Dreams", where her furious speech to the Grey Council was infused with Furlan's own rage against the European powers who failed to aid the Balkans as civil war erupted. After more than five years on ''Babylon 5'' and its assorted films, she returned to Croatia in 2002 to take the lead in the Ulysses Theatre Company's ''Theatre/{{Medea}}'', but soon returned to America yet again to play CrazySurvivalist Danielle Rousseau in ''Series/{{Lost}}'' from 2004-2008.
