- Was the inspiration for the song "Faithfully" by Journey. Her husband at the time was Jonathan Cain of Journey. A picture of Tane can be seen in the video for this song.
- Composed and performed three songs heard in Terminator (1984).
- During the 80s, changed her name to Tahnee Cain because people were mispronouncing her name.
- Ex-wife of Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain.
- [acting in B-movies vs. soap operas] The only real difference is that if you're working with a girl who is brain dead and can't remember her lines to save her life, on a B-movie she might be hired again because she'll take her clothes off, but on a soap opera, she'd never work again. It basically boils down to a higher sense of professionalism.
- [being cast in mainstream projects] I would've been disappointed if l hadn't broken out even a little, as I have recently, only because I needed to know I could get a part purely on my acting ability and not the fact that I would agree to take my clothes off and simulate sex with someone.
- As an independent film director, I feel that often, the most interesting scenes in a movie include the unexpected moments that were never actually specifically written on the page. When an actor takes a beat or two longer to get his emotions or thoughts together while the camera is rolling, but the scene has not technically begun. Sometimes those quiet moments are the most honest and fresh. He is not "acting", he is simply "feeling" and building his emotions, and THAT to me can be magic on film.
