Career

Many people initially believed that Bree (shown above in a screen capture from a lonelygirl15 video) was a real internet blogger. The discovery that Bree was actually actress Jessica Lee Rose received much media coverage in September 2006.

After graduating from NYFA's one-year acting for film program in April 2006, Rose lived in Los Angeles, California. In her search for acting jobs, she found a listing for an independent film project The Children of Anchor Cove on Craigslist. She was one of about 80 actresses who auditioned for the lead part. After two callbacks, she was offered the role of Bree. Jessica signed a non-disclosure agreement and was told that the project would consist of a series of videos released to the World Wide Web over the Internet.

YouTube fame

Main article: lonelygirl15

The lonelygirl15 video blogs first portrayed her to be a real 16-year-old who had to deal with typical teenage angst but quickly morphed into a bizarre narrative that portrayed her dealings with secret occult practices within her family and included the mysterious disappearance of her parents after she refused to attend a "secret" ceremony prescribed by the leaders of the family's cult. The series was an immediate hit and became the most subscribed channel on YouTube. Many of her fans became suspicious of whether she was really genuine and not just an actress doing some sort of a promotional gimmick from Hollywood. Soon an investigation was initiated which led to lonelygirl15 to be "outed" in the Los Angeles Times, revealing her to be actress Jessica Lee Rose merely playing the role of Bree. A firestorm ensued in the news media through September 2006, during which Jessica Rose and the creators of lonelygirl15 were interviewed in magazines and television shows, and gained international attention.^[7] lonelygirl15 is an interactive web-based video series, centering on the life of a fictional teenage girl named Bree, whose YouTube username is the eponymous lonelygirl15. ...
