She is neither but that line and her recognition for it is a testament of how memorable her role as the French speaking Ursula in Sony Pictures 2001 feature film "The Brothers" is. She's since been in two award winning independent films; "Runt" and "Solus". The latter she produced and starred in. Other movie credits include, "Princess Diaries 2", "Shot" and "Break a Leg". She was a Series Regular on an Aaron Spelling pilot "Silverlake".
