From dream to reality
1989. Anne, 20, had graduated from the Montreal Conservatory of Dramatic Arts six years earlier, and now television roles were multiplying. She would appear in two television series that year, Tandem and Chambres en ville. The young woman who grew up in Trois-Rivières dreamed of playing the great classic Racine by Musset.
Discover Anne of Lola
33 years ago! By 1990, Anne Dorval, who had primarily acted in theater, had become the Lola of the small screen. Her role in the series Chambres en ville brought her to a wide audience, as the series, written by Sylvie Payette, would soon attract more than two million viewers on Télé-Métropole (TVA).
An extraordinary stepping stone
Lola with the handsome Pete (Francis Reddy) from the popular TVA soap opera Chambres en ville, a children’s series for a generation of actors. Anne played this character alongside the actor for much of the 1990s. They even married on screen, alongside Louise Deschâtelets, the manager of the boarding school for young people.
