She won a Genie Award for Best Supporting Actress for Monsieur Lazhar when she was eleven years old, before The Book Thief and long before Yellowjackets.
The verdict
Rose Landry in Heated Rivalry, but she has been a fixture since winning a Genie at eleven for Monsieur Lazhar. Born in Windsor, Ontario, raised in Quebec, currently anchoring Yellowjackets. Bilingual, decorated, and barely twenty-five. Five points and a head start.
