Biography From Kids in the Hall to CBC Radio Drama , our "Chameleon" Claudelle , has screen time, stage time and airtime. Her love of performance since childhood in hometown Cornwall, she remembers where it began - in her back lane composing songs and producing her own skits, to the many wildlife creatures who became her audience. It's no surprise that her creativity and natural talent lead to songs with radio airplay and later Theatre College- George Brown Theatre School - where she quickly obtained her ACTRA Union status in only 6 months after Graduation.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
