Polly Shannon
- Actress
- Writer
- Producer
Polly Shannon grew up in Aylmer, Quebec, with her mother, a Canadian scriptwriter for children's television, and father, Director-General of Health Canada. She was given a deadline of the age of 25 to make it or break it as an actress, and she's more than met that quota. In 1999, alone, she's had hits with Innocence fatale (1998) (with Henry Czerny) and The Sheldon Kennedy Story (1999) (with Jonathan Scarfe of Madison (1993) and Urgences (1994) fame), coming a long way from her first role as Nina in the Canadian teen series Catwalk (1992) in the early nineties.
