Paula Stronin

Paula Stronin is the main villainess from the 2011 film, Gone.

She was played by Venus Terzo, who also played Valeria Crossley on Psych, and Sonja on Supernatural.

Paula Stronin is a corrupt state health commissioner who masterminded the theft of a flu vaccine, with plans to sell to the black market. Along with the theft, the evil Paula also was behind the murder-for-hire plot on Ed Borden, a journalist who was investigating the theft. The plot involved the kidnapping of Emily Kettering, the young daughter of main protagonist Amy Kettering.

Paula's reveal came when Amy entered her home, where Emily was held captive, and pleaded with her to help find her. Amy was taken down to the cellar with fellow conspirators Duncan Hall (Paula's advisor) and Liz Cook (a corrupt cop). Though Emily was not found, Paula scolded Hall for bringing her to her home, revealing herself as the mastermind. However, after reminding Paula about her role in the plot, the villainess left her co-horts to handle Amy. After Hall was killed by Amy and Emily was rescued, Paula was shown on TV being arrested for her crimes.
