Carole Laure
- Actress
- Director
- Writer
Before she became an actress Carole Laure
was a teacher. She was born on August 5, 1950 in Montreal (Québec)
Canada. The profession she has chosen did not give her any
satisfaction. She met some young Canadian film makers, that resulted in
her first appearance as an actress, age twenty, in
Mon enfance à Montréal (1971),
directed by Jean Chabot. Three years later,
she met director Gilles Carle, who helped
her career. Her exotic beauty (her mother has Indian blood), her charm
and spontaneity, her dark eyes with light melancholy look, made her a
star in French-Canadian cinema. She is not only acting but also sings.
Carole has recorded several LPs in French and English, collaborating
with Lewis Furey. She also sings in the
filmmusical Fantastica (1980) directed
by her old friend, Gilles.
