Over the years, she has been seen in other popular productions like Blue Bloods, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Distemper. Yet, she has maintained a laid-back attitude with her career.

Abigail isn’t someone who would do whatever it takes to stay in the limelight; in fact, she has been quite evasive of it.
