Jacqueline "Jackie" Jandrell is a friend of Jessica Lee Rose's and played Gemma in the Lonelygirl15 series.
When the first Gemma video was posted, people did not yet know whether or not Gemma was a canon character. Fans quickly discovered that Jackie and Jessica Rose were friends on MySpace, which led many to assume that Gemma was canon. However, the original placement of Gemma's first two videos, Nut Kills Man and Living In London, amongst fan contributions on the right-hand side of the website left others unsure. Days later, the confusion ended, as Bree posted the video Hi Gemma!, confirming that Gemma was, in fact, an official character.
Jackie's MySpace profile lists her location as the United Kingdom, as this is presumably where she's from. Her accent in the Gemma videos fueled much speculation as to whether or not she is actually British. Fans knew that she lived in Los Angeles at the time the videos were shot, based on the fact that all of the actors, creators, and production staff are based in Southern California. Later, it was discovered that Jackie is originally from South Africa and moved to England, where she lived for many years. She then went to LA to do a course, where she met Jessica and got the role of Gemma.
Since Jackie's character Gemma was evidently killed by Brother in the video Gemma [Part V] it seems unlikely that Jackie will be featured in the series again. According to a fan, Jackie said she had become busy with school and did not have much time to devote to the series. The following year, Jackie had a minor role in the film El Percance perfecto.
