Search on for Missing Teen Actress
Wed Aug 24, 2005
Teen actress Scout Taylor-Compton, known to TV viewers for her recurring roles on Gilmore Girls and Charmed, has gone missing from her California home.
Her family and police confirmed that the 16-year-old, whose credits also include a starring role in the 2004 teen comedy Sleepover and a bit part in in the 2004 Jennifer Garner comedy 13 Going on 30, had not been seen at her home in Apple Valley, about an hour northeast of Los Angeles, since Aug. 12.
"We sincerely appreciate everyone's attention and concern regarding Scout and are praying for her safe return," the family said in a statement Wednesday. "We have faith in the agencies working on the case and are optimistic that the outcome will be positive."
The San Bernadino Sheriff's Department says there is no indication of foul play and the actress is likely a runaway. A sheriff's deputy has been assigned to the case, and the family has also hired a private investigator.
According to a biography posted on IMDb.com, Compton, who sometimes goes by the nickname Desiree, had been in New Jersey filming an indie feature titled Tomorrow Is Today in June. She was said to be "in Canada meeting with a director for a lead role in a new feature film" in August, although no date was provided for the meeting.
Although she isn't a name-brand celeb, Compton had been steadily employed in Hollywood since she was 10. She played a fairy in several episodes of Charmed, most recently in May, and had a recurring role as Clara Forester on Gilmore Girls, her last appearance coming in October.
This year she has also been seen on Cold Case and That's So Raven, and she recently scored a starring role in Bravo's new Howie Mandel series, Hidden Howie. Previous TV credits include a recurring stint on The Guardian and guest roles on Ally McBeal, ER, Frasier; her first feature film was a 1999 independent called A.W.O.L.
Anyone with information on the actress' whereabouts is urged to call the sheriff's department.
