Career
Her short appearance in 1998, as the other Barone family's Anna Barone in Everybody Loves Raymond, brought her to the mainstream.
But it was her b-movie appearances that cemented her memory. Her most quoted appearance (as in video clips and screenshots) was in 2001's direct-to-video movie Hard as Nails as the prostitute Margo. She was memorable for exposing her very large breasts to a talkative detective in his car, expecting him to go right to business instead of talking. Alas, since this was a crime movie and not a softcore one, he eventually persuaded her he just pays her to look out for a crime suspect.
