Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1987, Ellen Page got her start in Canadian television before generating a lot of buzz for her powerful performance in the 2005 indie thriller Hard Candy. From there, Page went on to star in X-Men: The Last Stand, and her much-heralded role as a pregnant teen in Juno. Although Juno became one of her best-known roles, she also appeared in several popular films, including Smart People, Inception, Super and X-Men: Days of Future Past, reprising her role in the latter film as Kitty Pryde. The daughter of a teacher and a graphic designer, Page took an interest in theater from a young age. She performed in her first local production in the fifth grade and won Canada’s prestigious Gemini nomination for her role in the made-for-television movie Pit Pony in 1997. The busy actress went on to appear in several Canadian television series, including the Pit Pony spin-off, Trailer Park Boys (2001-02) and ReGenesis(2004), as well as the award-winning film Marion Bridge (2002).
