with his mother to New York where she met director Paul Aaron. They all
moved to Toronto, and became Canadian citizens (which Keanu still is).
Keanu has lived in Lebanon, Australia, New York, Toronto, and now

This was a hilarious, fun film. A must see. Mike's last adventure onto the big screen was Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and I must say it is pretty funny. He plays two characters, Austin Powers, and Dr. Evil. He also wrote the script and produced the movie. And of course, now there's the sequel Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, even funnier than the first
Kiefer dropped out of school at age 15 to persue a career in acting.

Nelly's debut CD Whoa,
Nelly! was released in October of 2000. It's single I'm Like a Bird

Mike was born somewhere in southern Ontario in 1963 or 1964. At some point
he joined Second City in Toronto. He was a cast member on Saturday
Night Live from 1989-1994, where he played many characters.

Funnyman Jim Carey overcame a difficult childhood to become the character
he is today. He was raised in southern Ontario where his family
encountered financial difficulties that forced him to grow up too fast. As

Michael was born Michael Andrew Fox on June 9, 1961 to Phyllis and William

When most people think of Leslie Nielsen these days they think of his
character Lt. Frank Drebin from the Naked Gun film series. Nielsen
was born on February 11, 1926 in Regina, Saskatchewan. He was raised in
Fort Norman in the Yukon where his father was a Mountie (RCMP). Some of
his more recent film appearances would include: The Naked Gun
films, Surf Ninjas, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, Spy Hard,
and Mr. Magoo.
Shania
was born in Windsor (Ontario), the second oldest of five children. As a
child she was a bit of a recluse. Her musical talents were discovered by
her parents when she was just a youngster, and they pushed her to perform.
Pamela was born in the small town of Ladysmith B.C. on Canada's 100th
birthday (July 1, 1967). She was the first baby born that day (4:08 am),
so she was given the title The Centennial Baby. 
Céline was born in Charlemagne, Quebec, on March 30, 1968, the youngest of
14 children to Adhemar and Thérese. She started her performing career at
age 5 at a local club her parents ran. Céline's big international break
came when she sung the title track to the Disney film Beauty and the
Beast. This song not only won a Grammy Award, but also an Academy
Award! 
A five-piece, truly Canadian band. They blasted on the scene in the early
1990s with an independent release and shortly afterwards got signed to a
record company and the successful Gordon was released. They keep on
going, their song "One Week" which was featured in the film American
Pie is regularly stuck in my head.
She was born June 1, 1974 in Ottawa, Ontario. Since Alanis was a kid, she
liked singing, dancing, and acting. She started dance lessons at age 7,
and at age 9 started writing songs "just for fun".
