"Tiny Angels" reached so much international popularity that fans in Israel, where the telenovela gained much support, demanded that the stars pay a visit to their country. Her popularity reached the roof thanks to Rebelde Way in 2002.
Bordonaba only retired from "Tiny Angels" on its seventh season, when the show ended. In a 2001 interview, she declared that she was worried about her country's future, that "Axl Rose was her favorite teen idol" (she said he was her "impossible love"), that she plans to fly on a parachute someday, and that she would travel to Egypt if given a chance to pick a place to visit. When asked about God, she simply answered "I'm sure there is someone up there".
