B: August 31, 1965 in Levis, Québec
CĂ©line Bonnier, the youngest of 8 children, was brought up in a liberal, cultured environment and was encouraged by her parents to develop her imaginative side. She started “acting” in the local playground when she was about 7 and would entertain her neighbours and friends with little impromptu routines. Music was a major part of her early life and after she graduated from high school she could play several instruments. Bonnier also had a flair for art, but it was her early ability at acting that led her high school drama teacher to recommend she audition for the Conservatoire de théâtre in QuĂ©bec. Graduating in 1987, she joined Jacques Lessard`s Théâtre Repère, where she met Robert Lepage who invited her to play the part of Konstanz in his 1991 production of Les plaques tectoniques in both MontrĂ©al and later on tour in the UK. She launched her film career by reprising her role in the screen version of the play one year later. CĂ©line Bonnier plays the role of Suzanne Beauchemin on the TV series, UnitĂ© 9. She is pictured above in a still from the La passion d’Augustine, which brought her a Gala du cinĂ©ma quĂ©bĂ©cois Award in March of 2016. |
