Since the age of 12, Stephanie Morgenstern has been working on stage and on screen in English and French.
She played Ian Holm's traveling companion and confidante in Atom Egoyan’s Oscar-nominated The Sweet Hereafter. The entire cast was honoured by the American National Board of Review with the award for Best Ensemble Acting, presented in New York City by Francis Ford Coppola.
In French-language features, Morgenstern was seen by many in Denis Villeneuve’s early feature Maelstrom, as the lead’s Norwegian motormouth best friend Claire. She also played the lead in Jeanne Crépeau’s Revoir Julie, an LGBTQ festival favourite that toured internationally.
In another role that became iconic to a generation of LGBTQ audiences, she played Laura in the groundbreaking Genie Award-winner Forbidden Love.
In recurring TV roles, two of her favourites were Gerta, the former East German Olympic athlete turned Head of Housekeeping, in At the Hotel — and Lesley Clark, Crown Attorney in This is Wonderland.
On stage, some of Morgenstern’s proudest stage moments were playing Hermia opposite Sheila McCarthy’s Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Stratford Festival, and as Juliet in both Romeo and Juliet at the Globe Theatre, and Goodnight Desdemona Good Morning Juliet at the Grand Theatre.
The Maelstrom cast with Denis Villeneuve. Maelstrom swept the Genie and Jutra Awards (now Prix Iris), and represented Canada at the Oscars.
