Ellie took her daughter to see the semi-finals of American Idol (2002) and while waiting in line they approached Carrie Underwood for an autograph, who immediately recognized her and exclaimed "Oh, my God! You're in Halloween 4: Final Cut (2001)!" Ellie's daughter was extremely impressed.
During the famous rooftop scene in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988), Ellie accidentally slipped
and her torso was cut by a large nail. Even after losing a large amount
of blood, she went right back and finished the scene a few minutes
later. Co-stars said, "It didn't even faze her."
