Charlene Fernetz

Charlene was born in 1960 on a large farm in the center of Saskatchewan, Canada, and studied Journalism at the British Columbia Institute of Technology; but in 1990 it was while doing regional theater in Portland, Oregon, that she caught the eye of a Manager from Los Angeles, and within months she was a guest on the Showtime series, "Kurt Vonnegut's Monkey House," which took a Cable Ace Award. Shortly thereafter, she became a series regular on "Street Justice," shot in Vancouver, Canada, and continued with another series in Toronto, "The Mighty Jungle." Charlene was nominated for a Genie Award for Best Actress for the 1994 film, "Harmony Cats," the Canadian equivalent of the Oscar. And soon after, she took home a Canadian Film Award, The Blizzard, for Best Supporting Actress for the film, "Paris or Somewhere," in 1995.
