Karine Vanasse, why isnt she a huge star outside Canada, after Pan Am and Revenge?

I don’t understand it either! Cardinal was fantastic as well. I’ve never seen her in anything where she isn’t outstanding.

I should have mentioned Cardinal, it was great, and did you see Plan B, she played a fairly unpleasant character and was wholly convincing. My feeling is that Hollywood probably involves too many compromises, bad people and the wealth and fame is not worth selling your soul.

I haven’t seen that one, I’ll add it to my list. She also does a lot of French language work that doesn’t tend to cross over to the mainstream.

Another French Canadian actress that is highly underrated is Charlotte Le Bon who is now based in Paris. She was in the most recent season of the White Lotus so I’m hoping she gets more work.

Great, I’ll look out for her. I watched White Lotus at my daughter’s request, which character did she play? I did try one episode of the house restoration Karine Vanasse is doing, in French, it was hard work and then I needed to register to see more. I’d rather watch her in French than Dick Strawhat and his awful new wife in their chateau! His first wife, she was great, It looked like they had it all. The magic of TV
