This is her debut acting that earned her earned her "Best Female Performance" and "Breakthrough Performance Female" nominations for MTV's 2001 Movie Awards.

Because of her superb acting skills, she was given the opportunity to play the lead role in the movie “The Queen of the Damned” wherein she played the role of a vampire queen named Akasha and wore sultry superficial outfits.
