about the kind of training she
received.

Lauchlin was trained by
June Whitacker, whose
North Shore amateurs The
Theatre Group have a very
professional attitude.
Whitacker works with the
Stanislavski method of ac-
ting, which is highly deman-
ding, both emotionally and
physically. After some work
with Lauchlin, who hadn’t
done anything dramatically
since her grade four school
play, Whitacker moved her

your guts into it,’’ Lauchlin
says, ‘‘You work with some
very powerful emotions .. .
the first is usually anger. You
really get to know yourself.’’

Whitacker, whose own
long career on Broadway and
in London’s West End is a

to her own agent, when Chris
decided it was time she did a
commercial.

Instead of that, she got a
screen test for Glitter Dome,
which was filmed in Victoria.

Vancouver is perhaps one
of the most beautiful cities in
the world, and whilst our
cities abound with
photographers, how many of
us are intimidated by a
