Biography

Colleen Rennison est née en 1987 à Vancouver, et a une ascendance à la fois irlandaise, écossaise et française. Sa mère, Cecilia Rennison est une productrice de la télévision. Elle a grandi dans sa ville natale, Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique.

Dès 6 ans, sous l'impulsion de sa mère, elle commence une carrière d'actrice, avec un rôle dans le film canadien indépendant, Max, en 1994. Cette première expérience est suivie par des apparitions dans des films de télévision, et un rôle de guest star sur la série télévisée Au-delà du réel : L'aventure continue. Son premier long métrage américain est Carpool, avec Tom Arnold, David Paymer et Rachael Leigh Cook. Peu de temps après, elle décroche un rôle dans un film de John Dahl, Unforgettable, avec Ray Liotta et Linda Fiorentino, suivie en 1999 par Une vie à deux, réalisé par Rob Reiner et avec Bruce Willis et Michelle Pfeiffer. Elle y interprète leur fille Erin. Son rôle majeur suivant consiste à jouer Mona Hibbard (dans sa période adolescente, le personnage adulte étant interprété par Minnie Driver) dans le film De toute beauté , réalisé par Sally Field, mettant en vedette également Joey Lauren Adams et Kathleen Turner.

Colleen Rennison se produit également dans des séries ou des dramatiques télévisuelles. On peut citer notamment, en 1999, la série canadienne These Arms of Mine pour la chaîne de télévision CBC. Cette interprétation lui vaut une nomination aux Prix Gemini. Elle joue également dans A Feeling called Glory (basé sur une histoire de Barbara Gowdy), et remporte en 2001 pour cette interprétation un Prix Gemini de la meilleure performance d'actrice dans un rôle principal, faisant d'elle la plus jeune actrice ainsi récompensée, à 13 ans. Colleen Rennison est aussi apparue dans les séries télévisées Highlander (série télévisée), Poltergeist : Les Aventuriers du surnaturel, Millennium, et The Sentinel. Elle est apparue deux fois dans Stargate SG-1, interprétant Ally et Cassandra.

En 2005, Chris Haddock l'a choisi pour jouer dans Da Vinci's City Hall. En 2005 toujours, sa mère soumet un enregistrement de Colleen Rennison à la station Citytv qui organise un concours. Parmi des milliers de candidat(e)s, elle est sélectionnée avec deux autres filles pour rencontrer le musicien, producteur et découvreur de talents canadien David Foster, en Californie. Cette rencontre aboutit à une participation à un spectacle, avec David Foster and Friends Gala, au bénéfice de la Fondation David Foster à Vancouver.

Plus récemment, Colleen Rennison est apparue dans les films American Venus, Boot Camp avec Mila Kunis , What Goes up mettant en vedette Hilary Duff, Steve Coogan et Molly Shannon, et Down River.

En 2008, Colleen Rennison déménage à New York pour une formation théâtrale et musicale au Circle in the Square, qu’elle interrompt, ayant, pour ses formateurs, une voix trop grave. Alors qu’elle est encore à New York, elle signe un contrat avec Shady Records, contrat interrompu 6 mois plus tard pour cause de divergences artistiques .

À Vancouver, elle rencontre le bassiste Parker Bossley et commence à écrire des chansons, ce qui la conduit à constituer un groupe, No Sinner, jouant du rock et du blues, et associant le batteur Ian Browne et le guitariste Eric Campbell.
Colleen Rennison vit actuellement entre Vancouver, New York et Los Angeles.

Upon arriving in Concord, New Hampshire in January 1986 to cover the hometown hooplah for the looming Space Shuttle Challenger launch where Concord teacher Christa McAuliffe is among the mission's crew, reporter Campbell Babbitt (Steve Coogan) decides to call an old college friend, only to discover an apparent suicide. Babbitt, who has his own ethical baggage, gravitates toward his friend's high-school students in hopes of finding an unsung hero story about a teacher who made a permanent impact on the social misfits of the school. Instead, he discovers a group of dysfunctional students, outcasts led by a narcissistic seductress (Hilary Duff), a repressed voyeur (Josh Peck), and a scheming pregnant teen (Olivia Thirlby). In a gradual reversal of roles, Babbitt soon finds himself learning from this unusual group of kids.

This film is the story of a group of unruly teenagers whose parents send them to a rehabilitation boot camp to turn them around. The camp collects each child individually, then delivers them to the boot camp facility owned by Dr. Arthur Hail, on a remote island in Fiji. There are no walls to stop the teenagers from leaving, but escape is impractical due to the surrounding sea. On arriving at the camp, the teenagers are forced to wear cuffs with sensors around their ankles—if they attempt to escape, security will be alerted.

Jenna (McGregor) is a teenage competitive skater who has been coached by her overprotective, high strung, gun-obsessed mother (De Mornay). When she quits competing and decides to go to college in Vancouver, her mother becomes very upset and tries to prevent her from leaving home; finally locking her in a hot sauna until she agrees to stay. Her father gives her money behind her mother's back and Jenna leaves home. Her mother goes to Canada to force her to come back home and resume competition. Once there, the mother becomes increasing unstable as she first tries to bring a handgun into Canada, tries to procure one from a drug dealer, and finally has sex with a policeman who gets a gun for her. After Jenna brings her father to Vancouver to fly her mother home that day, the mother instead insists, against Jenna's protests, that she will drive herself back. The father leaves and that night the mother breaks into Jenna's apartment and forces her to pack and drive home by gun point. Before they get out of Canada, the mother shoots a squeegee man who attempts to clean the windows. Shaking she orders Jenna to stop driving and runs into a tunnel in a park where she pulls the gun out and begs Jenna to shoot her. A struggle ensues over the gun with the mother getting a grazed in the head, knocking her off of her feet. As Jenna cradles her she acknowledges to Jenna that she must let her go. The movie ends with the mother returning to the United States the next morning with a bandage on her head.

Mona Hibbard (Driver) is a young woman from a troubled home who has one overarching goal: to become the winner of the Miss American Miss pageant. Her mother is an alcoholic who graduates from berating her young daughter for not doing well in kids' pageants to declaring she will not provide any money or support for Mona if she keeps competing. Fortunately for Mona, she becomes best friends with Ruby Stilwell (Adams), who joins forces with her kind-hearted grandmother to help Mona as she begins her steady rise in the beauty pageant ranks. Unfortunately for Mona, she becomes pregnant and is horrified because women with children are not eligible for the MAM crown, and she has a young daughter (Eisenberg), but Ruby selflessly agrees to raise Vanessa as her own daughter. Mona becomes colder and meaner as she gets closer to achieving her goal, whether she's sabotaging a fellow contestant Leslie Stefanson on her routine and earning a lifelong enemy of an aspiring newscaster, or pawning all of her inconveniences onto Ruby while ignoring how obvious it is that Vanessa looks exactly like her, a path that leads to her victory in the Miss Illinois pageant. When Ruby is falsely accused of euthanasia and jailed, Mona is forced to take care of Vanessa, a task she is neither good at nor happy to do as she is afraid that her MAM crown bid will be ruined; Vanessa reacts to the situation by being angry and difficult to handle. Mona heads to the MAM showcase while her old enemy thinks she has a scoop about Vanessa's parentage, but only after being coldly rejected for a last time by her own worthless mother, which leads to her implying to Vanessa that she IS the girl's mom and can't say so in public. Mona also grows up when she desperately seeks guidance from jailed Ruby, only to have Ruby finally tell her friend that she needs to start taking care of her responsibilities. Mona comes to see that the pursuit of pageant fame is empty next to taking care of her family, and finally announces when she's made the MAM Final 3 that she is Vanessa's mom and is withdrawing from the pageant. But the judges see that the crowd is 100% in her favor, and change their rules so that Mona becomes the new Miss America Miss, as her old enemy finds her "scoop" and dreams of journalistic fame are both dead. Mona finishes the film as a happy mother to her little girl, a good friend to Ruby, and someone ready to turn the page on past turmoil and start a better life to come.
