Amanda Brugel
Pointe Claire resides in a sleepy part of Montreal Island called West Island. The West Island has a lot of communities. Many who've never been aware of it frequently confuse it with a separate island facing west. Amanda Brugel was born there, but her time was not long in the city. Brugel grew-up in Courtice close to Oshawa, Ontario. Early ambitions were to become an expert dancer. Then, a growth rate increased her height and she outgrew her dance partners she had. In an interview with the Toronto Star, she confessed that "In heels I am 6 feet 1 inches." When I surpassed any male partner, I stopped. Many former dancers turn to acting and in the case of Brugel, it was the result of a recommendation from her high school teacher in drama. Her teacher invited her to audition for a part in her school's production. It was her choice to take on the principal part of Anne of Green Gables after she tried out. The show was granted a Fine Arts Talent Scholarship to take part in
