Leverson was a friend of Oscar Wilde and Ada Leverson is portrayed in the film by Zoe Wanamaker.

She is portrayed for much of the season by Charisma Carpenter ( as the goddess is possessing the character of Cordelia Chase ), but when she acquires her own body she is portrayed by Gina Torres, who also appeared in Joss Whedon's Firefly as Zoe Washburne.

Zoe got more than she bargained for when Constantine decided to bring with him into his new station his long standing mistress, Maria Skleraina.

The sisters granted Scleraina the title of sebaste and she took rank after Zoe and Theodora, being called despoina, mistress or empress, like them and taking her place behind them in official processions and ceremonies.

Although Zoe was fifty when she first married, despite her age, she married twice more.

In 2007, she played a supporting role opposite Parker Posey and Melvil Poupaud in Broken English, an independent American feature written and directed by her daughter Zoe Cassavetes.
