- For the film "Anna Karenina" (1997), during post-production the producers needed to find a US replacement for the UK actress who played the Midwife because shots were missing. The UK actress was a natural redhead but 5'11". After calling multiple casting directors - who all recommended Lisa Rhyne (who is only 5'5") - the producers (who had never heard of her) used Lisa to do the extreme close ups.

Won "Most Talented" in the one of the largest Junior Miss Pageant ever. She sang in various productions in and out of high school and college. When her college vocal coach tested Lisa's 5-octave range by making her sing a wide variety of songs from country and pop to opera Lisa was immediately brought to the Dean of the Music Department where he tried to convince her to become a vocal performance major (which she politely declined). However, she did convince him to let her pursue a sound engineering major (with minor in applied physics). Upon moving to Nashville, TN after college graduation, she was a session/demo engineer and producer. Many times she also did the singing on the demo sessions for many top artists and songwriters. That made her one of the extremely rare female engineer/producers in town. During her 3 years in Nashville, she loved to sing in various Nashville nightclubs including the world famous Tootsie's Orchid Lounge, The Station Inn and the Stockyard's Bullpen Lounge.

- Lisa's always been a writer/storyteller first and performer second. When her talent agents insisted she pick only 1 career to focus on, she simply created a second career under a nom de plume. That entity actually has an IMDb page filled with credits but has no photos (obviously!). She continues to work under her real name as well as the other. To date, no one has figured out her secret identity.
- It is common knowledge that Lisa worked in Nashville, TN in the country music industry right out of college. She worked as a record promoter on retainer with all the major labels and some independent labels and artists. She also worked as a record producer/sound engineer/demo singer as well.
What many do not know is Lisa had an interesting interaction at a summer BBQ with the president of one of the biggest record label companies in the world. He excitedly mentioned he'd discovered and signed a new singer to a 3-record deal and they were going to be an award-winning super star! In a split second, Lisa scanned him, followed his aka connection to the singer, then scanned probable time lines and said, "You're right. They are an amazing vocalist - probably the greatest of this generation - but they're never going to accomplish all that. You'll be lucky to get the second album completed and there won't be a third because you'll drop them because all their troubles of the past come to light, fame goes to their head and they become a nightmare to deal with until finally their substance abuse on top of all the other problems and dramas will be their downfall." He laughed and dismissed Lisa's message but more importantly...he became very curious.
That conversation stuck with him and after several months things started to unfold exactly as Lisa said they would. She was subsequently invited to his office for a private candid chat. Lisa came out of The Metaphysical Closet fully to him and explained exactly who and what she truly is and that's why she said what she did about his swiftly rising-now-falling star. He hired her to confidentially consult with him for the label. He paid her cash off the books because he - like most people - didn't want the world to know he was paying a "psychic" to advise him and the record label about their business decisions (i.e. what talent to hire, what songs to put on an album, what singles to release and how high on the charts would the singles reach, as well as any potential problems with artists) and the rest as they say is history...and like most history, the full truth of what really happens is always hidden from the general public. - Member of the 29th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards Television Nominating Committee.
