Malese Jow has come a long way since the days of singing the national anthem at Tulsa Speedway and Oilers hockey games. The little girl with the big voice at those late 1990s events is all grown up at 19, with a 10-year acting career in Hollywood.

Her resume is impressive. The little girl gets a start with “Barney & Friends” and similar fare before finding tween TV fame on Nickelodeon’s “Unfabulous,” co-starring opposite Emma Roberts (Julia’s niece) for three years between 2004 and 2007 as Geena Fabiano, a fashion-obsessed diva.

Then, Jow broadened into teen roles with CW’s “The Vampire Diaries,” playing Anna, a beautiful creature of the night who died in last season’s finale, and for whom fans are still clamoring to see come back to life.

Now, this Tulsa talent is moving into motion pictures. The part is small, but the movie is big: “The Social Network,” which opens Friday and tells the story of the college dorm-room founding of Facebook. Directed by David Fincher (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”) and written by Aaron Sorkin (“The West Wing”), the dark, comic drama has the pedigree of a player at this year’s Academy Awards.
