Her most recent pornographic work continued to be released into 1993.

After leaving the adult film industry, Alexandre returned to working as a secretary, which was a position she held before entering the industry. She is of the strongly held opinion that adult film actors should only be referred to by their industry aliases, even in reference works, unless the actor has chosen to publicly reveal his or her true name or if their activities have caused the name to be revealed in the mainstream media.

Lisa De Leeuw is an American pornographic actress, and one of the few falsely reported to have died of HIV.

But in the book Skinflicks: The Inside Story of the X-Rated Video Industry (2000), writer and porn producer David Jennings, describing the stigma and rumors surrounding AIDS in the porn community in the late 1980s and early 1990s, wrote, "Reputed to be dead of AIDS, Lisa DeLeeuw and Brandy Alexandre, now out of the industry, proclaimed themselves alive and healthy."
