Does Anyone Know Who This Actress Is?????????????


                                 Let me explain. Sometimes an uncredited performance can be noticed.  For example, there is former child actor Dickie Moore, now a teen, in the next to last scene of "The Song Of Bernadette."  In the 1993 Macaulay Culkin film, "The Good Son," the photo of younger brother, Rory, was used to represent the drowned Richard.

                                  Now, for the photo above. It is about 12 years old, and was used in my favorite 'SVU' episode, entitled "Mean."  This was broadcast recently, and I caught it again, and this photo struck me.  It represents the victim, Emily Sullivan.

                                    I don't want to spend time rehashing the whole thing, but what makes this episode so interesting, among all the buttons it presses, is that Emily turns out to be, not exactly a sympathetic victim. To be sure, what was done to her was horrible, and should not have happened, but once, as I watched, I discovered that Emily, a popular girl with her own clique, had been for years harassing an older, unpopular, overweight girl named Agnes Linksy (brilliantly played by Lindsay Hollister, and also good in the "Cold Case" episode "The Promise"!!!!!!!) with hundreds of abusive phone texts, and other pranks pulled, and so my sympathy for Emily went out the window. The Linskys should have been successful in obtaining that restraining order against her.

                                     But, as Emily, too late, found out, Karma can be a bitch, and can come back to bite.  And bite it did.  You see, the ringleader of Emily's group was Brittany O'Malley (the brilliant Kelli Garner).  If I am right about the pecking order, it went like this--Brittany, the ringleader, Emily, the follower, and Andrea Kent (Arielle Kebbel) and Paige Summerbee (Kimbely McConnell), the acolytes.  Which is how they pretty much play their roles in the episodes.

                                       You see, Brittany wanted to test Emily's friendship by fixing her up with her boyfriend, an actor in his twenties names Lukas Ian Croft.  She expected Emily to diss him because Brittany was her friend.  But Emily was beginning to strain at the bit Brittany had been forcing into her mouth all these years, so she went for Lucas. And that led to her being murdered by the three girls!!!!!!!!

                                        The viewer finds out early in the episode that Emily is the girl in the photo, when Benson and Stabler go to her house.  Her parents are capitalist, corporate types who think their daughter's perfect. Well, let me tell you, as soon as I saw the photo, I could see Emily had the look of the perfect high school bitch.  Look how the nose and mouth combine into a sneer, that, even though she is smiling, cannot be concealed. And the hair---just perfect!  The photo reveals her to be the backstabbing bitch she was who, partially, deserved what she got.

                                           But just who is this actress "portraying" Emily?  If anyone out there knows, tell me. Because, just encapsulated in a photo, she tells all there is to need to know about Emily.  What a stunning acting job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                             The one to feel most sorry for is Agnes.  Because, even though her enemies go to prison, as she says, the torment went on--to quote her, "It was never going to stop!," leading her to take the action of murder, and landing in prison herself.

                                                The Big House has a way of evening out scores, so if Agnes ends up anywhere near Brittany, Paige and Andrea, they had better watch out!
