‘It was a great journey,’ she said of her experience.
‘I actually got to be friends with the owners of the team back when I was doing Lois and Clark,’ she explained.
‘I had become friends with them and when they won the (1994) Super Bowl in Miami, they had invited me and my parents, and then they gave me this ring, so that was a good perk.’

And I can’t speak for other people but for me, it seems to be concentrating on the gratitude and the joy that everyday can offer and what I can find and make out of it combined with mindful, responsible, accountable behavior to behave in a way that is going to allow me to have longevity.’
The WondLA voice actress said she is looking forward to more adventures in the future.
‘I don’t care what I really look like in the sixties, but I do care whether or not I can climb up an 8-mile hike up a mountain, and that’s something I have done in the past,’ she explained.
‘I’ve climbed Machu Picchu, I’ve done a 60-mile hike along the southern coast of Cornwall, England. These are things that bring me a lot of joy and I don’t want those opportunities to go away just because I’m 70 or 80 years old.’
