Carole Laure - Biography: Contact Carole Laure Today!

Carole Laure is one of Quebec most famous actresses; she has starred in over 40 films, including the classic "Maria Chapdelaine". She also starred with Lewis Furey in the musical dramas "Fantastica" and "Night Magic", the latter featuring lyrics by Leonard Cohen. Carole Laure also has several albums in French, and English to her name. 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". But in 1977, Carole Laure’s encounter with the Canadian singer/ musician Lewis Furey would dramatically alter the course of her career - and cause a few major changes in her personal life too. Laure met the English-speaking star in a cabaret in Montreal and, sharing a mutual passion for music, the pair began spending a great deal of time together. Furey persuaded Laure to try her hand at singing and began writing material for her. At the end of the year the couple staged a concert at Le Palace in Paris, Laure performing Furey’s new songs. Laure and Furey soon became an inseparable couple off-stage as well as on and it was not long before they became a husband-and-wife team. In 1993 Laure turned her attention to her acting career again, her appearances on the music scene over the next three or four years being few and far between. Music fans would have to wait until 1997 before Carole Laure the singer resurfaced, going into the studio to record a new album entitled "Sentiments naturels". This album found Laure and husband Furey experimenting with a totally new sound, fusing elements of techno, house and rap with trip-hop influences.
