The companies that hired her to model for them were really smart because they tried to diversify their campaigns.

She even lent her beauty to music videos. A country musician named Billy Currington hired her to appear in a music video for his song Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right.

It was also a short film and she was also the co executive producer of the movie. The other executive producer was her then husband Jack Hartnett who also wrote and directed the film. Working on the film together allowed the couple to get close to each other. Sometimes couples dread working in the same industry because of the concept that familiarity breeds contempt. Even if you love each other, seeing each other every day can become tiresome because you lose your sense of self. You start to lose your personal identity as your identity begins to merge with your partner.
