Trivia

The first big name actor she hired to be in her film, "This Promise I Made" was actor Ken Kercheval (Ken played Cliff Barnes on Dallas and Dallas: The New Generation). She now has Ken on speed dial, as they formed a close friendship while he was in town filming for her movie and plans to ask him back for a future film project.

Candy had a small role in her first film, In a Cage, playing the mother to the lead character, Kristy Franklin in a flashback scene from when Kristy is five years old.

Candy has two cross tattoos. One on each back side of her shoulders. She designed the almost matching tattoos herself. The one on her right is green (Daniel's favorite color) and has his initials and birth date. The one on the left is blue (Christopher's favorite color) and bears his initials and birth date. She got them both in 2004 after years of wanting to do it.

The one person Candy most admires is her son Christopher, who became disabled at the age of 17 when he fell and dislocated both of his knee caps. Christopher has had a total of eight knee surgeries, plus one ankle surgery and has had his gallbladder removed and he isn't even 21 yet.
