She was here filming with American television news magazine 60 Minutes, about her pending memoir, Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts (Penguin Random House). The 60 Minutes interview also covered on her formative years at U of T, Victoria College and Hart House Theatre. She performed on our stage as part of Victoria’s Bob Comedy R***e – a sketch/improv show – and also undertook publicity and poster design for shows that Victoria College produced. The 60 Minutes segment aired on Sunday, November 9.
