Join us as we celebrate Lenore Zann's new release, A Rogue's Tale: A Memoir.Despite numerous obstacles, small-town girl Lenore Zann caught the acting bug early. She was "discovered" at 19 and chosen to play Marilyn Monroe in a rock opera based on the life of the tragic movie star. Her powerhouse performance kickstarted her career, leading to hundreds of acting credits in film, TV, theatre, radio, and animation, including her iconic portrayal of Rogue in X-Men: The Animated Series and Marvel’s new hit, X-Men ’97.
A Rogue’s Tale reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly in show business. It recounts her professional and personal interactions with some of Hollywood’s most intriguing celebrities - including a few romantic escapades along the way! From stages and film sets to hotels and Hollywood mansions, Lenore shares her encounters with award-winning actors, musicians, and directors like Stephen Spielberg, William Shatner, Keanu Reeves, Sam Rockwell, Giancarlo Esposito, Sam Waterson, Andy Gibb, Lou Gossett Jr, Jerry Orbach, Atom Egoyan, John Neville, Brent Carver, Page Fletcher, Steve Earle, Johnny Rivers, Rita MacNeil, The Mamas and Papas lead singer Denny Doherty, Tiny Tim and more.
Despite a successful acting career, in a strange twist of fate, like Marilyn Monroe herself, alcohol and drugs brought Lenore to her knees at the age of 36. But unlike Marilyn, Lenore decided the braver choice was to live, which led to a powerful spiritual awakening and a new sense of purpose. Like her iconic character Rogue, Lenore Zann's determination to rise from the ashes again and again, to stand up not only for herself but for others, is a masterful lesson in how to roll with the punches, to awaken the inner superhero, and constantly re-emerge from devastation and destruction - like the mythical Phoenix.
