She's been a big Barbra Streisand fan since childhood and insists that any complaints about music legend being difficult to work with come from her being a woman who speaks up for herself. Boggess uses her admiration for Streisand to fuel her character's passion for Stevie Nicks.

"We're celebrating rock and (lead male character Dewey) references all of these different people within the show that are his inspirations, and Stevie Nicks is the only female represented in the rock world. It makes me want to cry just thinking about it.... And I think that's, subconsciously, what Rosalie Mullins is relating to is this woman who has paved the way... She's the head of one of the most established, prestigious schools and all of the other teachers are older than she is. And as a woman to be holding this up and the responsibilities and the pressures that she's under to show up a certain way, that informed how I walk and how I talk. That goes back to the [idea of] coming from a place of truth. All of the expectations that there are on her, as a young woman, to be running a school of that caliber, it's a lot."
