Jackie Emerson on Cover of Girls Life Magazine
Unlike her silent character, this game-loving (Scrabble tops her list, L.A.-based actress and singer has put her voice out there for the would to hear. Schauspielen since she was 6, Jackie has not only lent her talents to radio, TV and stage productions, but she has Musik vids to her credit, too (check her out on YouTube). But it's this slick chick's resourcefulness that helped her win the coveted slot of The Hunger Games' sharp competitor-her first major movie.
''I got cast because I was a fan,'' Jackie says, going on about her addiction to the trilogy she's read a ''billion'' times. Initally hooked thanks to her school's required Summer reading, Jackie landed a coveted audition when the Hunger Games director sought out kids who had read the books. She wowed the casting team with her smarts and skill and eventually scored the pflaume role of Foxface.
A newbie to the A-list Hollywood scene, Jackie's first Tag on set was nerve-racking. ''I was terrified. I was so nervous,'' she remembers. Luckily, funny moments like pranks at the hands of castmate Jack Quaid and one of the younger tributes helped to lighten the mood.
No doubt Jackie's sunny outlook helped. Her castmates gush about how happy she is all the time. Says Amandla, ''Just being around her bubbly energy makes Du feel 10 times better if you're having a bad day.'' It's not just her energy, but her confidence that makes this femme fearless. ''There's no such thing as normal. Everybody's weird,'' she says, explaining that she snuggled with her childhood stuffed dog each night while filming the flick to fend off homesickness.
''A 17 Jahr old who still sleeps with a stuffed animal? Think what Du want,'' she laughs. ''But Du should always own who Du are and what you're doing in that moment. Be proud of who Du are...that's the most important thing.''

I bust the windows out your shop
'cause Du never gave me my chops
i asked for them a week Vor
but Du never delivered them, no
I bust the windows out your shop
when i figured you'd never deliver
Those mutton chops in that mutton pie
so because of Du im blind in the eye
I must admit Du didn't do it
but i aint forgiving you, not a bit
'cause i went to the games
and i got punched in the face
Du see, i was quite hungry
and Du didnt give me
That pie when i told Du i needed it
But now Du can see what Du have done
My eye has gone, forever it has gone
ow,ow,ow,ow
