Neve Campbell Born October 3, 1973 in Guelph, Ontario, Neve started her foray into the world of entertaining through ballet. She started dancing at age 6; by age 9 she was training with the National Ballet School of Canada. A few injuries made dancing as a career impossible, she then moved onto to acting.
She started out with the Canadian television series Catwalk which might still be shown in re-runs on YTV. She of course can now be seen on the immensely popular show Party of Five, as well as some movies she has made. The Craft and Scream in 1996, Scream 2 and Wild Things.

Pamela Anderson Lee Pamela was born in the small town of Ladysmith B.C. on Canada's 100th birthday (July 1, 1967). She was the first baby born that day (4:08 am), so she was given the title The Centennial Baby.
Her family moved to Comox, B.C., and she graduated from Highland Secondary School in 1985. In 1988 Pam moved to "The Big City" (Vancouver), and became a fitness instructor.
In 1989 she was at a CFL game between the B.C. Lions and the Toronto Argonauts. During a break between plays a camera man spotted Pamela and put her up on the big screen. She was a huge hit. She happened to be wearing a borrowed Labatt's T-shirt at the time. She was soon after made Labatt's Blue Zone girl.
And the rest is pretty much history; Playboy, Lisa on the show Home Improvement, Baywatch, Barb Wire, and now V.I.P..

Stephanie Morgenstern Played Allison in the Atom Egoyan film The Sweet Hereafter.
Gloria Reuben Gloria was brought to most Canadians' attention with her role as Jeanie Boulet on ER for which she received multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.

She plays a Boston Medical Examiner with a checkered past, imperfect family life, and a tendency to go beyond her duties in solving mysterious deaths.
Jill Hennessy was the second of two twins born on November 25, 1969 in Edmonton, Alberta. Her twin sister Jacqueline was born three minutes before her sister. At around age twelve Jillian first expressed her interest in acting. At fifteen, she began modeling in Toronto. Her grandmother took on the role of driver to take her all over town. Her first role on the big screen was the 1988 film Dead Ringers where her twin sister also had a role. There have been times on Law & Order when sister Jacqueline stepped in to cover Jillian when Jillian was needed in two places at once, but Jacqueline has opted not to pursue acting as a career.
Jillian's talents are wide ranging. She speaks Italian, French and Spanish. She's known to play the guitar and someday hopes to use this talent to release a CD with her sister. In 2000 the comedic film titled The Acting Class which Jillian wrote, directed, produced and starred in was released and compared favorably to the likes of Waiting for Guffman and Spinal Tap. Highlights of her television and film acting credits include: television miniseries Jackie, Ethel, Joan: The Women of Camelot as Jacqueline Kennedy, the film Autumn in New York as Lynn with Richard Gere, television miniseries Nuremberg as Elsie Douglas, and the 1996 film I Shot Andy Warhol as Laura.
