The movie she has been involved in was "The Secrets of Isis", it was made in the 1970's. It started as just "Isis" but became popular so the redid the show and named it what it happens to be now. The books she was referenced in her history would be placed thought out discribing her life and adventures, and example book is called The Mysteries of Isis.

When Ra awoke the next morning he went walking an got bit by the snake. None of the other gods could heal the bite except for Isis. She told him that the only way she would cure him was if he told her his secret name. As the pain became unbearable for Ra he finally caved in and told Isis.

Isis the Mighty Egyptian God Post 1
Hello, I am the goddess Isis. In pretty much everyone's opinion, I am the earliest and a very important Egyptian goddess. I am the goddess of magic and life. I am the Daughter of Nut and Geb and the sister of Osiris, Nephthys, and Seth. wife of Osiris and the Mother of Horus. I famously wear wings to show protection and also life. My worshipers, not to brag, are still here today. Unlike some of the other godly friends. I spent time on earth a while ago teaching them how to grow and build, gaining friendship of the people on earth. I am called the Mother of Life but also can be called the Crone of Death. I usually wear headdresses and have the appearance of the ancient Egyptians. Thick eyeliners and many jewels and bands. I also have an 'Isis Knot' which is the symbol of protection for others.
