Alexandra was faced with a tough decision when she decided to leave Highlander, as she loved the show, but despised the stereotype her character followed. She ultimately decided to leave, as she felt it would be best for her career, and the show itself.
Alexandra: I learned a lot on Highlander, like shooting fast. Besides, we were playing in English, so it was a real personal challenge for me. I did a little over 30 episodes and then I stopped. We were shooting in Canada, it wasn't very practical for a family life. I have the memory of a exhausting shooting, but a rewarding one.
