"Melissa Bithorn, a striking brunette actress, is beginning to establish herself in her career. Her breakthrough role came in the television series 'Scorned: Love Kills' (2012), which subsequently secured her a guest appearance on 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'. Acclaimed filmmaker Hal Hartley took notice and cast her in his 2014 film, 'Ned Rifle'. In this movie, one character keeps a revealing photograph of Melissa's character, Claire, tucked inside a Bible. The image captures Claire lounging topless on her bed. Although it's a brief scene, pausing at the right moment reveals Melissa's breasts in all their glory. With her attractive face and appealing physique, this fleeting glimpse of her bare chest in 'Ned Rifle' might inspire some carnal thoughts."
