In 2015, Zimmermann joined RecordTV, where she portrayed Princess Henutmire in the historical drama Os Dez Mandamentos. Two years afterwards, in 2017, she appeared as Queen Neusta in the series O Rico e Lázaro.[3]

In 2005, Zimmermann was featured on the cover of Época magazine with the headline "I Had an Abortion," where she publicly discussed her decision to terminate a pregnancy at the age of 25.[4] The cover prompted extensive media discussion.
