Carole Laure Galleries 1

  Canadian actress Carole Laure, who was born in the French-speaking province of Québec, launched a singing career in the 70’s after meeting fellow Canadian singer Lewis Furey. The pair went on to form an inseparable couple - both off-stage and on - and they have since made a name for themselves with their spectacular stage shows. Laure and Furey’s unusual concerts, at times inspired by 20’s cabaret, at others influenced by genres as diverse as country, rock and tango, are always magnificently choreographed affairs and have proved a great hit worldwide. Despite the enormous success of her singing career Carole Laure has never abandoned her film work and today she continues to divide her time between film shoots and the recording studio.

Carole Laure
Carole Laure was born on 5 August 1948 in Québec, in a small parish called Shawinigan, not far from Montreal. Carole’s parents adopted her when she was a child and brought her up alongside their own children. Carole spent a happy childhood, growing up with six brothers and sisters and attending school at the local convent. She developed a passion for music at an early age and soon proved to be an extremely talented young pianist.

After leaving school Carole became a teacher, but at the age of 20 she began to get involved in the Canadian film world. Carole made her first screen appearance in Jean Chabot’s short entitled "Mon enfance". Then in 1971 she landed a major role in Jacques Godbout’s film "IXE-13". But it was Carole’s work with the director Gilles Carle which would really give the young actress her first big break. In 1973 Carole Laure’s film career got off to a flying start when she played the part of a country music singer in Carle’s "La Mort du bûcheron".

The following year Carole was back on cinema screens once again, starring in Dusan Makavejev’s 1974 film "Sweet Movie" (in which she gave a memorable appearance lying naked in a bath tub full of melted chocolate). Over the next few years the actress would star in a growing number of feature films.
