Added DiffLines:
* StageMom: Ironically she maintains that her parents ''didn't'' want her to get into the industry at first, and didn't even let her watch television as a child, only relenting when a babysitter noticed how enthusiastic she was about performing commercials. Her father became rather infamous for micromanaging her career and cost her several roles because of it.
Added DiffLines:
* TomboyAngst: She maintains that her career declining into adulthood was because she "wouldn't wear the frilly bows", the 2000s preferring blonde girly girls.
Added DiffLines:
** She was a leading contender for the role of Claudia in ''Film/InterviewWithTheVampire'', but she was uncomfortable with the character's adult relationship with Louis, and turned it down.
