We caught up with Lena to learn more about her, including her reality TV show past. Check out 10 Fun Facts below.

1. I am part Filipino. My grandfather on my father’s side immigrated to the US from the Philippines and is part of a long line of artists from the Philippines. I believe my great aunt was a movie star in the Philippines. I actually want to know more about my heritage so maybe Find Your Roots will have me on their show.
2. I was on two reality TV shows years ago. Legally Blonde: The Search For The Next Elle Woods and but for a fleeting moment, on Popstars 2! What’s really crazy is that Paul Canaan and I went and auditioned for Popstars 2 together and later he would be a judge on Legally Blonde: The Search, the show I was a contestant on… of course we weren’t allowed to say we knew each other or that we had worked together before.
3. I have 2 collectible square body trucks. Mint! I bought the first truck during the pandemic cause… It’s so pretty it’s a 1987 Chevy V10. And a 1973 Bronco that was a gift for Christmas from my husband. I absolutely LOVE square body trucks.
4. I am a natural blonde.
5. I am perimenopausal. I’m proud of it and I will talk about it to anyone who asks cause it’s really important for us to have the right information about this time in a woman’s life.

Head inside to read the rest of the fun facts…

6. I’ve been sober for over 9 years. It started as a curiosity “I wonder how I’ll feel if I just stop drinking for a month?” Then I just kept asking the question so I never stopped and I never want to go back.
7. I was a serious ballerina growing up. My father was an artistic director of a ballet company in San Francisco and still teaches at age 93 soon to be 94.
8. I sang for the Pope at 7 years old. It was at Candlestick Park Stadium in San Francisco and I sang a song I can’t remember for over 40K people. You could say it was the peek of my career. Lol.
9. I am a little sister, an aunt and a musician IRL, so I can really relate to my character Ali on Your Friends and Neighbors. Plus, playing Jon Hamm’s little sister and getting to sing… it isn’t a bad gig.
10. I was a classically trained pianist. I still play piano when I get a chance. I played LIVE in the TV series Snowpiercer which was terrifying.
