Trivia

- She is convinced that the only reason her character, Amy, was turned back into a human from a rat on Buffy was because of fan intervention. She has said that fans wrote in saying that the average life span for a rat was 3 years, meaning Amy would die. An amused Joss Whedon was motivated to bring Amy back.
- She is lactose intolerant.
