Biography
Page was born and raised in Halifax, Nova
Scotia. She attended three different high schools before graduating from
the Shambhala School in 2005 in Halifax.
Page started her drama training at the
Neptune Theatre School. She began her acting career at the age of 11 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, which solidified her place[citation needed]
among the most talented young actors in Canada.
Page has roles in three as-yet unreleased
films The Basement (also noted as An American Crime), based on the true
story of Sylvia Likens, opposite Catherine Keener, as well as The Tracey
Fragments, and Jack and Diane, a lesbian love story with a shocking
twist.
