The 38-year-old actress's first film credit came in 2006 with the film Jumping off Bridges. She would go on to star in major Hollywood films like 2011's The Tree of Life and 2014's Boyhood.

Though she saw moderate success as an actress, her career took a turn in November 2016. While shopping with her family at a farmer's market, a driver sped from a parked position directly into her after reportedly mistaking the gas pedal for the brake pedal.

"I didn't even have time to turn around before the truck hit me," Savannah told The Austin Chronicle in 2016.

The damage done to her leg was so severe that surgeons had to amputate it from above the knee. She spent time in physical rehab surrounded by get well cards. Many benefit concerts and events were held in her honor.

Nowadays, she walks around confidently with a prosthetic leg as her career continues to flourish.

Since recovering from her accident, Savannah has made other appearances on TV. In 2021, she portrayed Gotham City Police Commissioner Barbara Gordon in the DC series Titans on HBO Max. Similar to the original DC Comics, Barbara uses a wheelchair after being attacked and paralyzed by the Joker. She continues to provide invaluable support to the titular Titans as they tackle crime in Gotham City throughout Season 3.
