In an interview in the August 1998 issue of Femme Fatales, Bernard revealed, "I was the first under-18 Jewish virgin who was in the centerfold placed in front of a Christmas tree" and that she'd never been nude in front of anyone other than her mother prior to posing for Cassili, who had been one of her father's apprentices. Her father was photographer Bruno Bernard, Her ex-husband was playwright/actor Jason Miller and their son is actor Joshua John Miller. As of November 2008, Bernard was working on three books about her father.
