Bella appeared in the 2007 spoof horror film Drive-Thru as Starfire, a stoner member of a rock band. She also appeared in the 2005 film American Gun. She has also appeared in other various movies and television shows, such as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Boston Public and Tru Calling.

Personal life [edit]

Bella was married to Edward Furlong, her costar in the 2006 film Jimmy and Judy. She gave birth to their son, Ethan Page Furlong, on September 21, 2006.[4]

On July 8, 2009, Bella filed for divorce from Furlong.[citation needed] In October 2010, Bella received a restraining order from a court against Furlong. She claimed he threatened to commit suicide,[5] repeatedly refused to undergo any drug tests,[6] and that he told her he hit their son's testicles.[7] On 10 January 2011, Furlong was arrested and jailed for violating his probation stemming from the restraining order.[8] She told the court he regularly drove past her house in an intimidating manner, and threatened to hire people to beat her with metal chains and baseball bats.[9]
