Biography[]

Background[]

A 15-year-old Hollywood hopeful from Milwaukee, Wisconsin with aspirations of being a movie star who strongly admired her aunt, actress June Ballard. June offered Jessica to take her to Los Angeles, promising a chance to audition for movie roles and to pursue her dream of stardom. Jessica ran away from her home with June but without her parents' permission.

In Los Angeles, Jessica met movie producer Mark Bishop and went to a casting at The Silver Screen Prop Store. During the "casting", Jessica was drugged and was molested by Bishop. While she was unconscious, Marlon Hopgood filmed. Jessica told her aunt of this but she merely rebuked her, telling her to "toughen up" in order to be a star. June in actuality planned this, exploiting Jessica's naivety and allowing her to be raped so that June could get a chance to blackmail Bishop. Jessica and June were later drugged and placed in a car. Bishop attempted to murder the both of them to cover up the rape and escape blackmail by faking a car accident. The car accelerated off an escarpment but the two miraculously survived the crash when the car hit a support post under a Cola King sign.

The Fallen Idol[]

"Um... okay."
"Oh, you don't need to worry them. They sent me along to stay with Aunt June. They trust her to take care of me."
"Please. Please don't do that. My Daddy will kill me."
"Please, please don't call Daddy. Why are you being so horrible to me? Can't you see what I've been through?"
"Please, Detective. Why would I lie to you?"
"Can't you just let me rest?"
"I went with Junie to this strange place... it's difficult to remember. Someone gave me a drink to calm my nerves and then I felt faint. I think I must have passed out."
"It's all kind of fuzzy. I remember waking up here. Nothing happened yesterday."
"Someone wants to kill me? I wouldn't know anything about that. I just went along with Junie. She knows all about the movie business."
"Please, I want my doctor. I'm not sure I can answer any more questions right now."
"I'm not lying to you."
"I'm tired, Detective, and this has been all so awful. Please, please, just leave me alone."
"The doctor told me what happened. I... I didn't want that. I just wanted to be a star - to be in movies. I told Junie what happened, and she told me to toughen up. That that was the price of stardom."
"]It's not Junie's fault. It's not my first time. I had a boyfriend back home. But, my father found out about him."
"Well, Junie is a big movie star. You probably know that. She's doing a new movie."
"He makes movies. I had to do a screen test. That's when you say some lines in front of the camera with the lights turned on you."
"That can't be true. Mr Bishop seemed very happy today. I mean... yesterday."
"I overheard Junie speaking to him on the phone a couple of times. Screaming, really... she can be very hard sometimes, Junie. But they seemed okay yesterday... like they worked it out."
"I don't know what you are talking about. Mr Bishop makes movies. That's all I know."
"Please - I don't feel well. Do I have to keep answering questions?"
"Please... it's scary. It's really difficult to think of anything..."
"I had to wear a robe... and lay down on a stone... there were lights, a camera. It's not my fault. I'm not a bad girl. Why are you trying to hurt me?"
"I am telling the truth! I don't know where the place is. I barely know this city."
"I think you should leave now. You're being horrible to me."
"I remember the mermaid."
"No, it was on the front of a building. We pulled up in front of the mermaid."
"Okay."
"I couldn't do that, Officer. What if I got the part and I wasn't there?"
"Are you crazy? I can't go home. I want to be a star."
"If you have more questions, could you ask them now? All I want to do is sleep."
"I've told you all I know. I need to sleep now."
"The doctor said that I have to rest."
"You're making me uncomfortable, just standing around here looking at me, not saying anything."
"No, that's enough. You leave me alone now or I will scream for the nurse."
"A little. My head still feels swimmy."
