Susan Hogan

Susan Hogan (born 1948) is a Canadian film, television and stage actress. Background Born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario, she chose to pursue acting as a career after being cast as Abigail in her high school production of The Crucible. She attended the National Theatre School of Canada beginning in 1966. After graduating, she began appearing in theatre productions in Toronto and at the Stratford Festival, although due to her blonde, green-eyed beauty she became typecast in ingenue roles until breaking through to wider notice as Stas in a 1978 production of Pam Gems's play Dusa, Fish, Stas and Vi. Career In 1979, The Globe and Mail theatre critic Bryan Johnson named Hogan one of the year's best actresses for her performance in John Murrell's Waiting for the Parade. In 1981, she injured her knee during a preview performance as Kate in a production of The Taming of the Shrew. Although forced to withdraw from a handful of performances, she was able to return to the role.
