Removing entries that play with Trivia and/or only concern one work


* AbilityOverAppearance: Producers wanted Clarissa Darling to be brunette - due to the influence of the BrainyBrunette trope. Melissa won them over with her sass, and the character became blonde.



* AwesomeDearBoy: Creator/SoleilMoonFrye joined ''Sabrina'' as Roxie in Season 5 because she and Melissa were good friends and wanted to collaborate on something.
* CelebrityVoiceActor: In ''WesternAnimation/RecessSchoolsOut''. Subverted in the animated series of ''Sabrina'', where she uses two very different voices for the aunts.



* TheDanza: Subverted. Mel Longo's full name is revealed to be Melanie, not Melissa.



* DeletedRole: She filmed a scene in ''Film/CrocodileDundee'' as a little girl who gets her cut magically healed, but it ended up cut.



* DyeingForYourArt:[[invoked]] For ''Film/DriveMeCrazy'', she worked out twice a day and drank mostly juice because she was spending the majority of the film in a tight red halter top.
* ExecutiveMeddling: Defied by her producer mother. On ''Series/ClarissaExplainsItAll'' they wanted to pluck her eyebrows and put more make-up on her, which her mother refused to do since she wanted Clarissa to be a "normal kid". It seemed to work, and the show broke out of the GirlShowGhetto partly because of how relatable Clarissa was to everyone.



* RomanceOnTheSet: Claims she cheated on her boyfriend with Creator/RyanReynolds while they were filming the ''Sabrina'' PilotMovie.
