While "Vanelle" is actually Vanelle's real first name, she went by
"Lyn" as a child to keep her name being mispronounced as
"vanilla"...although she still gets people that mispronounce (or cannot
read) her name to this very day.
Vanelle is the winner of the award "Best Supporting Actress Feature Film" in the 2012 Action On Film Festival.
