Fun fact
She won the Canadian Film Special Award in 1969, nearly a decade before Superman made her internationally famous as Lois Lane.
The verdict
Born in Yellowknife to a Canadian mother and raised across the Northwest Territories and several provinces, cutting her teeth in low-budget Canadian film before Hollywood noticed — she'd already won a Canadian Film Award before Lois Lane ever entered the picture. Born, raised, five points, and she never actually left the Canadian film scene behind for it.
