Biography

Marie Eykel is a Quebec actress born on April 2, 1948. The daughter of a Dutch father and a Quebec mother, Marie's mother was Rose Léonard and her mother was Irish. Marie lived a good part of her youth in Saint-Lambert. A theatre festival from her youth, she exercised her talent in several experimental theatres, worked for Paul Buissonneau's Roulette, before playing the role of Passe-Partout in the tele-series of the same name broadcast at Télé-Québec (Radio-Québec at the time) from 1977 to 1998. This series was remarkable for a whole generation, at a point called the "Passe-Partout Generation". Later she remained associated with this character, which greatly harmed her to gain a significant role after the withdrawal of the waves from the series.
