Darlene Cooke

Darlene was born in a northern Ontario nickel mining town and raised in Base Borden, a Canadian Armed Forces Base. She grew up with her seven siblings and parents in an active and busy household. The entire family moved to Toronto when Darlene was a young teen. During her high school cheer leading years, Darlene worked as a model, studied dance and voice, and delighted in her passion for Thoroughbred horses. For the next twelve years she began travelling the globe after landing a job as a Flight Attendant. Family life began knocking on Darlene's door and she began adoption procedures as a Single Parent for her first child. Several years later Darlene began her career as a Union actor after a successful introduction to stand up comedy and the birth of her second child. Darlene quickly learned that the life of an actor is a truly unpredictable and exciting experience with the constant challenge of balance, energy, family and the desire and determination to grow in one's craft.
