Typhoid Harry 23 Posted March 8, 2005 Cancer claims TV vet St-Onge JIM BAWDEN TELEVISION COLUMNIST When Guylaine St-Onge, the talented TV co-star of such Canadian series as Earth: Final Conflict and Lonesome Dove, decided to switch to theatre producing, she took on more than she bargained for. In 2001 St-Onge agreed to produce a staging of Brad Fraser's Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love but had to take over the leading role of Candy just four days before the opening. Propelled into the role, opposite John Carson, she was lovely and affecting, demonstrating a shading to her talent which few people knew existed. "Maybe this will be my way into theatre. I totally loved it," she told The Star's Rita Zekas in 2001. "To have the discipline of an actor to perform every night with the audience right there. "You get fed by the audience. On a movie set, you're lucky if you feel something at the end of the day." St-Onge died Thursday of cervical cancer after a courageous 2 1/2-year fight. She was just 39. Few people outside her closest friends knew she was sick. She tried to continue working as best she could while undergoing alternative treatments. Born in Montreal, she grew up in the small town of Ste-Hyacinthe where she began studying ballet at 4. By 14 she was taking the bus weekly to Montreal to perform in a dance troupe. She also appeared on a Montreal TV show titled Lautrec '83, described by St-Onge as "Solid Gold without a budget. It was the '80s: high heels with gold lamé and a big smile. I did ballroom, cha-cha, Latin dancing." She then jumped to the big-budget CTV drama series Mount Royal (1989) as Stephanie Valeur. "I had no acting experience other than commercials," she told Zekas. Looking like Monaco's Princess Stephanie, she played a model in Paris, who falls for one of her father's oldest friends. "It set the status for most of my subsequent roles: the wealthy bitch," she told Zekas. She then played a tycoon's amoral wife in the Keith Carradine series Fast Track, which was shot in Toronto in 1997. In Lonesome Dove she played the recurring character of Florie (1995-96) and in three Ken Finkleman series including More Tears (1997) she played "the wife of the rich guy who ran away with his secretary." "Ken had me watch Fellini's 8 1/2," St-Onge joked. "I had short hair and I was sexy with glasses and very mysterious." There was more sex but less mystery in the Toronto-made series Earth: Final Conflict (1997), where she played the malicious Juda, an alien with an insatiable appetite for human life. "I'm a vampire seductress," she explained at the time. "I wore a leather outfit with a triple-D bra size and I sucked the life out of everybody." Recent movies included Angel Eyes (2001) with Jennifer Lopez and One Way Out (2002) with Jim Belushi. She leaves her ex-husband David, companion Zéca and nine-year-old son Aiden.

Cerberus 302 Posted March 13, 2005 Why on earth are animals not worthy of being mentioned? I don't think it's that they're not worthy, but there aren't many famous real-life animals are there? Except for the odd race-horse and famous pet. Desert Orchid Bubbles the chimp Bill Clinton's cat, Socks Anyone think of any more? Anyway Yvonne, where have you been? Three posts in four months. Come on here more often if you want middle-aged men flirting with you, offering you an avatar (and other "services") and generally making fools of themselves. Only kidding.
