If you don’t know her name, you will easily recognize her face and her accent: Gabrielle Lazure, a Quebec actress born in the United States, has navigated in all kinds of roles since the beginning of her career in the 80s. Very popular, she had known a little crossing of the desert before returning to the front of the stage in series like The snake, such a big sun Where Disturbing Disappearance.
But if she continues, at 65, to play the leading roles, she does not forget her daughter Emma, born in 2000 when she was 43 years old. A young woman who helped her cut her demons. “I had it when I was 43. She saved me from my melancholy, and I spend my time telling her that I love her. Words I’ve never heard“, she said during the promotion of her book about her own mother, a narcissistic woman who had done her a lot of harm during her youth.
In order not to repeat the patterns of her childhood, Gabrielle Lazure has also protected her daughter, now an adult, a lot. “I had my daughter late, but before, I didn’t feel ready. I certainly took the opposite view of my maternal story, I protected it a little too much at the beginning – no doubt to fix the little girl who is in me“, she told Gala in 2011, conscious of having put “lots of structures and landmarks“to fill the void of his childhood.
“I also kept her away from this profession for a long time, I didn’t want her to take photos, for example…“, she added. Lost pain: Emma, at 22, has already shot in several films and passed important castings, including that of one of Steven Spielberg’s films. A true fashionista, she also poses regularly, on her account Instagram or alongside her mother during duo outings.
