INTERESTING NOTES:

She once auditioned for the role of Kendall on All My Children and originally auditioned for the role of Buffy.  Ironically, both roles were given to Sarah Michelle Gellar. 

Her character Darla was suppose to be a one-time deal (pilot episode) but she did such a good job they prolonged her character.

She auditioned for a role in Eyes Wide Shut.  She received a call back but decided against it when she would have had to do the scene topless.
