Mel Gibson, a devout Traditionalist Catholic, thought this of great significance when casting her. Her surname, Morgenstern, means 'Morning Star' in German, a title of the Virgin Mary, the character she played in The Passion of the Christ. In The Passion of the Christ, she performs a role in Aramaic, but like the other actors in the cast of that film, she simply memorized her lines phonetically.

Morgenstern has appeared in numerous films, primarily in Romanian language roles. At the same time, she was also playing the role of Kathleen Hogan in a Romanian-language production of Israel Horovitz's Park Your Car in Harvard Yard at the State Jewish Theater. Among her notable stage roles in recent years, in a Romanian-language production of The Blue Angel ( Îngerul Albastru in Romanian) at Bucharest's Odeon Theater, in 2001-2 she played (to great critical acclaim) Lola Lola, the character made famous by Marlene Dietrich. From 1990 to 1998 she was a member of the company of the National Theatre in Bucharest, and since 1998 of Teatrul Bulandra, also in Bucharest in addition, she continues to act at the Jewish State Theatre and other Bucharest theaters and elsewhere in Romania. She then played at Teatrul Tineretului (Youth Theater) in Piatra Neamț until 1988, and at the Teatrul Evreiesc de Stat (State Jewish Theatre) in Bucharest 1988, 1989, and 1990.
