    She performed in elementary, junior and high school plays.
    She focused on theater rather than film.
    Her husband, Simon Curtis, is a producer/director who helps get her foot in a few doors.
    During a play, while praying over a bed with candles, the bed caught on fire.
    She continued praying while trying to pat out the flames hoping no one would notice, but people noticed when firemen suddenly appeared on stage.
