Von Krosigk began acting as a child, appearing in her first television role in 1997.

In bonus material for the film's DVD release, she discussed her preparation for the role, which included watching the movie and reading the book, as well as her technique of using physical movement and gestures while in the recording booth to bring more emotion to her vocal performance.
