• Only completed one year of high school before she was booked for Days of Our Lives.
• In 2004, the character of Mimi, had the first abortion in daytime since the early 1980s.
• In 2003, said: "People thought I was crazy in Kentucky when I was 13 and talking about becoming a famous actress. I'm confident that I can do whatever I want to do. I could see myself winning an Oscar, I could totally see that. But first, I have to win an Emmy."
