Jessica played sixteen year old Bree, a home-schooled and quirky girl who became the queen of YouTube in just a few short months. Fans eventually caught on and Bree was outed as nineteen year old New Zealand-born actress Jessica Rose. Fake or not, lonelygirl15 has became a household name as her fame and fortune continues to rise.
