Ellen Page (born Ellen Philpotts-Page, February 21, 1987) is a Canadian actress, perhaps best known for her starring role in Hard Candy and as Kitty Pryde in X-Men: The Last Stand. She had previously received attention, particularly in her native Canada, for award-winning roles in "Pit Pony" and Marion Bridge and TV shows "Trailer Park Boys" and "ReGenesis." She is currently generating significant buzz for a possible Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her performance as a girl facing a teenage pregnancy in Juno.

BIOGRAPHY

Page was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the daughter of Martha Phillpotts, a teacher, and Dennis Page, a graphic designer.[1] She attended three different high schools before graduating from the Shambhala School in 2005 in Halifax. Page began her acting career at the age of 10 in a made-for-TV film (which would later be made into a series) called "Pit Pony." This led to roles in a number of small Canadian films and television series. At age 16, she was cast in an independent film shot in Europe, Mouth to Mouth.

Page played one of the main characters in the 2006 movie Hard Candy, for which she gained praise for having done "one of the most complex, disturbing and haunting performances of the year". Page has roles in three as yet unreleased films: An American Crime, based on the true story of Sylvia Likens, opposite Catherine Keener, which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, as well as The Tracey Fragments and Stone Angel.

Her next film, Jason Reitman's Juno, is scheduled for a December 2007 release.

thank you, WheresMyUmbrella. I have heard a lot of her lately. She is soo cute..

i predict a bright future for her

I love when they say things like 'well known in her native country' she looks familiar and the name is familiar but i'm not familiar with anything she's done. The pic ofher and Michael Cera is so cute though!

She really is amazing. Her performance in Hard Candy was jaw-dropping :lol:

I loved her in Hard Candy. She's going to be able to play a teen when she's 30 years old.

I like her tomboy style. It's a nice change from all the ladylike looks that have been so popular the past year.

Is she dating Ben Foster?

how odd, i just watched 3:10 to Yuma which has ben foster in it...

when her hair is shorter she looks like a very pretty boy. And thats no bad thing! She kind of looks like this girl in an episode of Cold Case who in the 60's was dressing as a boy.....anyway they have similar face shapes

I love her :heart:
Reminds me a little of a tom boy version of Rose Byrne
