- She was chosen to play the fictional character of Anna (the only fictional main role of the script adapted by Emanuel AG and Vanda Vaz within the scope of the ongoing co-production) as Portuguese expat running away from Lisbon regime in One Hundred Steps (2000) before being dropped by financial troubles of the Italian-side of the production, after Giovanna Mezzogiorno to have been considered for this part and the director Marco Tullio Giordana to have decided to replace the Italian actress when found the Portuguese actress.
- The choice of her name for her international debut along One Hundred Steps (2000), movie of the year with four prizes out of five in La Biennale di Venezia/Venice International Film Festival and a milestone in the Italian cinema of that period, faced many economic troubles throughout the shooting of the feature film itself. Because of such budgetary troubles strictly for covering a cost overrun with domestic public financial resources, the only fictional main character chosen to match her participation had to be cut off.
The part of the Portuguese actress is later substituted by Peppino's brother character on the same scene to end the first act to whom Peppino Impastato tells the audience that the distance of one hundred steps is the leitmotiv for his battle against Cosa Nostra.
