How so? It turns out that a large number of roles do not always contribute to worldwide fame and high recognition. The Canadian actress Wendy Crewson throughout her career managed to star in many films, but many did not even hear about her. It's time to fix it.
Biography and career
The actress was born in 1956 in Hamilton (Canada). When she studied at Queens Research University in Kingston, she also graduated from the Webber Douglas London Academy of Dramatic Art. After that, she decided to devote herself to stage activity.
Popularity did not come immediately, for a long time Wendy Kruson interrupted by small roles in the series (“Little Tramp”, “Perseverance”, “Labyrinth of Justice”, etc.). And only in 1991 she got a role in the dramatic film “Doctor”, where she played one of the doctors, Leslie Abbott, who tried to cure her colleague from a serious illness.
The next significant project in the career of the actress was the thriller "Good Son" (1993) about a small but very cruel boy. Wendy got the role of Susan Evans, who in the final had to make a very difficult choice. Then, with Harrison Ford, she was on the set of the action movie "Presidential Aircraft" (1997) and successfully played the first lady of the United States, Grace Marshall.
The thriller Crime Connections (1997) about two detectives with a dubious reputation allowed the actress to work with celebrities such as James Belushi and Tupac Shakur. And in the film "Bicentennial Man" (1999) about the robot-housekeeper Wendy Kruson played the role of one of the members of the family in which he worked.
Collaboration with Harrison Ford was repeated in the thriller What Hides Lies (2000). And in the science fiction film Sixth Day (2000), she played the wife of the protagonist, whose role was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this was far from the extreme role of Wendy Crewson. The complete filmography is too long to list.
TV shows with Crewson
The actress often appears in serial films. In the popular project “24 Hours,” she was allocated eight episodes to brilliantly play the role of the president’s personal doctor, Dr. Ann Packard. In the science fiction television series Regenesis, she got the role of a virologist at NorBAC, Rachel Woods.
In 2013, the second season of the television series Revenge was released. Wendy successfully passed the casting and got the opportunity to play Helen Crowley - the head of a terrorist organization. There were also episodic roles in the series: Crime Scene (2011), Alcatraz (2012), Murdoch's Investigations (2014), Beauty and the Beast (2015), Slasher (2016), etc.
