When she was 10-12 years old, Jennette built up quite an impressive resume of dramatic work, especially for someone so young.

Besides Strong Medicine, she appeared on Medium as a girl kidnapped by a vicious child molester, "Law & Order : SVU" as a fourth-grader who had been sexually abused, and CSI : Crime Scene Investigation as a girl whose sister had murdered a woman to get one of her cats for a pet.

Wow. Heavy stuff.

You know, I never saw the CSI episode "Cats in the Cradle," but I have seen an iCarly fan fiction story based on it. I haven't actually read it yet, but I bookmarked the story, "Sam's Dark Past," (written by Nature9000 on fanfiction.net) because of its intriguing premise.

Basically, it's an iCarly / CSI crossover story, in which a girl named Jessica Trent (who, as a child, had murdered an old woman) escapes from juvenile prison.

Sam asks Freddie to accompany her on a grim trip to Las Vegas. When she arrives, she goes to see Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows of CSI, who, as it turns out, know who she is.

A simple comparison of a photograph of the young Jackie Trent (the sister of the escaped Jessica) and a webcast of teenaged Internet celebrity Samantha Puckett had already revealed to the CSI team that the two are, in fact, the same person.

I've only read portions of this story, but I'm definitely planning to read the whole thing soon. It's a great setup, as Sam is forced to reveal to Freddie the terrifying past that she has sought to conceal and forget.
