Beals has said her biracial heritage has affected her, as she has "always lived sort of on the outside", with an idea "of being the other in society". She got her first job at age 13 at an ice cream store, using her height at the time (she is now 5 ft 8 in [1.73 m]) to convince her boss she was 16.

In December 2019, Beals will reprise her role as Bette Porter in The L Word: Generation Q, the sequel series to The L Word, and will also be executive-producing the show. She will star alongside fellow The L Word cast members, Katherine Moennig and Leisha Hailey.
