    Who plays young Lucille Bluth?

    Another great episode, I thought. My favorite part probably occurs where General Anderson tells Lucille to "go downtown" with ironic results! Many other great bits here, including the Teamocil reference, the chicken dance, and Ann as the Wall.

    But the main reason for this post is to inquire: who is the actress who played young Lucille Bluth (as a USO dancer) in the black and white photographs? I see that Ryan Pickett is listed as young Oscar Bluth (uncredited) but for the life of me, I could not find the identity of the actress anywhere. I also didn't know where else to post to ask about this. Thanks to anyone who can provide more information.
