I was waiting for that mention as well. But, because you only see her lips. Most people wouldn’t notice that she was in the movie

[@DeCurtaRican]

Right? I mentioned that. It is her most iconic role and she never showed her face or interacted with another actor. Yet, she carried the drama in that whole movie. I think the idea for the adaptation of the Gossip Girl novels to television started with her!
