Johanne-Marie Tremblay
A regular on French-Canadian screens beginning in the late '80s, Johanne-Marie Tremblay was one of Quebec's most dependable character actresses. Born in Montreal in 1950, she landed her first notable role in 1982 when she played Anne Vanasse in the soap opera "Une vie" (TVA 1982-85) but then spent the next few years honing her craft in various stage productions and as part of the innovative theatrical troupe, Le Groupe de la Veillée. After making her big screen debut as Sarah, one third of the ménage a trois in a "À corps perdu" (1988), Tremblay worked with director Denys Arcand for the first time when she played Sister Constance in the Oscar-nominated allegorical tale "Jésus de Montréal" (1989).
