The Muscle & Fitness magazine later featured Cummings in an article and pictorial for their February 2010 edition. She also acquired a recurring role on the Emmy-winning, AMC-produced series Mad Men. On television, Cummings became a series regular on the second season of Dante's Cove. Her other television work includes a guest-star appearance on Cold Case, a recurring role on Dollhouse, and appearances on Nip/Tuck and Threshold.
