In an exclusive episode of The Stream Panther, actress Holly Zuelle shares her emotional journey—from being a bullied, shy teen to becoming a bold advocate for truth and storytelling through film.
Holly opens up about Justice for Jeanette, a real-life cold case she championed after being entrusted with the story by the victim’s nephew.
Her relentless push for justice caught national attention and eventually led to Hulu featuring the case in the original series Out There.
She reflects on the emotional weight of telling Jeanette's story, the experience of pitching it to Hulu, and the importance of using storytelling to seek justice for those who can’t speak for themselves.
Holly shares the pivotal moment that led to her first major role, what she's learned about the film industry, and the acting lessons that continue to shape her craft.
From nailing self-tape auditions to discovering the power of storytelling through writing, Holly offers a unique perspective on what it means to grow both as an artist and a human being.
Also in this episode: Holly shares her unforgettable audition moment in Philadelphia, where she stood out among 3,000 girls by doing the unexpected—and letting silence speak louder than screams.
💬 “I just said it. I didn’t scream. And the room went silent.”
