* FriendshipOnTheSet:
** She's close friends with her on-screen sister Creator/RebeccaMader, and her on-screen love interest Sean Maguire. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they held a podcast together.
** She's also very close with her on-screen son Jared S Gilmore, and is considered an HonoraryAunt to him.
* IAmNotSpock: It's safe to say she will be best known as Regina Mills for a long time.



* PromotedToOpeningTitles: She initially appeared as a guest star on ''Series/TwentyFour'' but got promoted six episodes into her season.



* {{Typecasting}}: Her two biggest roles are as a female antagonist known for being both cruel and beautiful who later has a change of heart and learns the error of her ways; plus both characters' names start with "R".

* UnderageCasting: She's only two years older than Ginnifer Goodwin and although a short age difference isn't a big deal when she's playing a stepmother, Regina's backstory episode has her as a teenager when Snow White is only ten.

* LGBTFanbase: Lana has a large fanbase of lesbian and bisexual women going all the way back to her role as the AmbiguouslyBi Trina Decker on the short-lived ''Series/{{Swingtown}}''. This only increased after the airing of ''Series/OnceUponATime'', where her character, Regina Mills, has loads of LesYay with nearly every female character on the show, particularly Emma. Lana being very supportive to shippers of Regina/Emma (also known as [[IdiosyncraticShipNaming Swan Queen]]), has only endeared her more to her LGBT fans, especially in comparison to what many of them felt was her castmates' indifference.
