Carole Laure

Carole Laure (b. 1951, Montreal, Canada) was originally a teacher but gained no satisfaction from her profession. When she was twenty she decided to try her luck as a film actress. In 1971 she made her debut in Mon enfance à Montreal (directed by Jean Chabot). Today she has more than 40 films to her credit. She was nominated for the Genie Award for her performance in the title role of Maria Chapdelaine (1983). She also sings, and with Lewis Furey has recorded several LPs in English and French. She first tried television direction in the series "La feuille d'érable" (1972). Her feature film debut was the drama Marie's Sons (Les fils de Marie, 2002), in which she played the leading role. She was also the producer of the film, which was shown at last year's IFF in Karlovy Vary.
