-Since she knew the director did not want her, it pushed her harder to perfect the role and prove her worth.

-She attempted to get her daughter to watch the film but was unsuccessful as her daughter is not interested in anything she is in

-Despite Zenon airing over _5 years ago and being on General Hospital since 2005, Zenon is the role that she is still most noticed for when she is out and about.

-Zenon went on to be a major success spawning 2 sequels and also starred Raven Symone who played her bff Nebula in Z1 and Z3 (was recast in Z2 due to scheduling conflicts)
