Debbie Ann Rochon (born November 3, 1968 in Vancouver, British
Columbia)[1] is a Canadian actress and former stage performer, best
known for her work in independent horror films and counter-culture
films.When Rochon was ten years old, her parents were deemed unfit to
raise her, and she was remanded to foster care. Shuttled from one
foster home to the next, Rochon ran away to Vancouver. When she was 14
and homeless, she was violently robbed by a homeless man, who
assaulted her with a knife and slashed her upper right arm, leaving
Rochon with a large vertical scar.In 1981, after being alerted to an
open-casting call by another homeless youth, Rochon was cast as a
rock-concert extra in Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains. By
age 17, she had saved enough money to move to New York City. Rochon
worked with off-off Broadway theater companies, performing in over
twenty-five stage productions. She garnered her first printed review
in Backstage which read: "Debbie Rochon acquitted herself well as the
cocaloony bird in Tennessee Williams' The Gnadiges Fraulein."Rochon
then focused on the cinema and worked on over two hundred independent
features. The Hubcap Awards founder Joe Bob Briggs crowned Rochon as
runner-up Best Actress of the year in 1994 for her work on Abducted
II: The Reunion. In 1995 she was recognized for her work as the
conniving, television producer in Broadcast Bombshells, winning the
Barbarella Award.
