Mr. Speaker, actor Marilyn Castonguay made us proud at the Gémeaux awards gala on Sunday.
She was already known for her talented performances alongside the biggest stars in theatre, film and in countless television shows. She has now joined the ranks of Quebec's great artists by winning the award for best lead actress in a drama series for her iconic portrayal of housewife-turned-crime boss Huguette Delisle in the hit Quebec TV show C'est comme ça que je t'aime, known as Happily Married in English.
What a superb actress. What a natural talent. What a woman.
Congratulations to Marilyn, a true “Marsouine”. A Marsouin is what we call people from L'Isle‑aux‑Coudres. Forgive my bias, but us Marsouins, and all Quebeckers, are pretty proud of our Marilyn Castonguay.
I am thrilled for Marilyn, who happens to be my distant cousin on the Garcette side, descended from the famous Grand Louis of Cap à Labranche. We are all so proud of her.
