One of her most notable roles on television was that of the blue priestess Zhaan in "Farscape", for which she was nominated for best supporting actress. She left the show after three seasons because she wanted to grow her hair and eyebrows (she had to shave both for the show). and also for health reasons; the blue makeup worn over her head and chest to achieve Zhaan's appearance caused her kidneys to bleed, subsequently causing a decline in her health.cite web
