My father was an actor, and we have the most important theatre company in Montreal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was on a founding members of the Canadian theatre movement in the late 60's till the mid 70's and performed theatre from Halifax to Vancouver and all places in between.
Theatre has been a part of my life since before I can remember - my dad is also an actor and a director and a storyteller who lives and works in the Twin Cities; my mom is a nurse practitioner, but she also grew up doing theatre - so, it has always been a part of my experience.
My grandparents - both of my mother's parents - were actors, and they ran the Reading Repertory Theatre Company, through the town of Reading, where I come from.
I made theater very important in the beginning of my career.
I come from a family of actors. My grandfather was like a Laurence Olivier with the Comedie Francaise. Since I was four I went every week to the Comedie Francaise. My aunt and grandmother were there, but my grandfather was a big star.
I grew up in Manhattan and, since my father was a playwright, all I ever wanted to be was a stage actress.
My father was a writer and an acting teacher.
I did theater at Carnegie, and in Pittsburgh and New York.
I started doing regional theater. My first job was 'The Importance of Being Earnest' at Dallas Theater Center.
I grew up in Vancouver and my father drove me to every single one of my acting lessons, auditions, and jobs.
