Half Mexican and half Puerto Rican.
Has a tattoo on her back that is half of a heart.
Speaks Spanish and also knows French.
Sister Athena had a small part in Clockwatchers.
Younger sister of Athena Ubach.

Writing partner is Jessica Cauffiel, who plays best friend
"Margot" in Legally Blonde (2001). Jessica had already been
cast as "Margot" and was to read with several actresses
vying for the part of Serena. When Alanna walked into the
audition, she pulled Jessica aside and said dryly, "Kid,
help me out here. I've gotta make rent." Jessica laughed and
said, "Okay. I'll stand up and do the scene with you. Just
mirror all of my movements." She did: and Margot and Serena
were born.
The producers of Meet The Fockers actually had Alanna, 28,
put a fat cushions on and "grey" her hair so she could play
a 40 year old Cuban maid. They saw plenty of actual Cuban
women for the role, but director Jay Roach found the young,
spunky actress to be the best. She plays much younger, but
really played it down for this role.
Has a bulldog named "Otis Redding".
She and Michelle Matthews both attended the private academy
Lycée Français in Los Angeles. |
