When Benz was 14, she suffered a stress fracture in her right leg and had to take time off from skating.<ref name="Gazette" /> The following year, at age 15, Benz says she was told by an acting coach that she would never succeed as an actress. "I remember the teacher telling me I should not even try acting. I still have the report card where she was like, 'You will never be an actor. Your voice is horrible.' That was the best thing that ever happened to me because I was like, 'I'll show you'," she later said.<ref name=BeforeStars>{{cite journal|last=Rizzo|first=Carita|title=Before They Were Stars|journal=TV Guide|date=January 3, 2011|page=24}}</ref>
