Trivia

Rachael is a fan of the book series Fearless. That's why she wanted to play Gaia, the main character, when it was being developed for tv.

Rachael was a student of the Laurel Springs School, a school for young actors who can't attend a more regular school due to time commitments.

Rachael appeared in a memorable anti-drug commercial where she smashes an egg with a frying pan ("this is your brain on heroin") and proceeds to trash the room with the frying pan ("this is your family, friends, career, etc."). Arguably one of the few effective anti-drug spots ever made.
