Par Margot Campbell. 2013
'' La comédienne Margot Campbell remonte le courant de ses souvenirs dans un récit de vie captivant et empreint de…
poésie, de son enfance dans la vallée du Richelieu jusqu'à ses premiers pas sur les planches, ses premiers rôles, sa carrière et sa vie de famille. Ce qui apparaît en filigrane de ce récit de vie, ce sont les milieux québécois du théâtre, de la radio et de la télévision avec des troupes et des comédiens en plein essor, puis la popularité grandissante des téléromans qui deviennent des rendez-vous incontournables pour les familles québécoises. Ces souvenirs témoignent également du Québec de ces années-là, avec les familles nombreuses, la vie à la campagne, et le nécessaire appel de la ville quand les rêves d'une jeune fille de talent l'amènent à envisager une carrière. La comédienne Margot Campbell a joué au théâtre, mais elle est surtout connue pour ses rôles à la télévision. Jeune actrice en début de carrière, elle a joué dans les célèbres téléromans La famille Plouffe et Le Survenant, puis dans La Boîte à surprises et dans Jeunes visages. Mais la consécration est venue avec des rôles inoubliables tels que celui de secrétaire de Rémi Duval (Jean Besré) dans le téléroman de Guy Fournier, Jamais deux sans toi, ou encore dans son rôle de gouvernante au service de Bella (Nicole Leblanc) dans le téléroman de Pierre Gauvreau, Cormoran.
