Biography

Lynne Griffin's illustrious career in the entertainment industry commenced in the early 1970s, with her initial forays into television broadcasting in Canada. Subsequently, she transitioned to the world of live theater, where she has made a lasting impression through her captivating performances in numerous Shakespearean plays. Her impressive repertoire has earned her a recurring presence at the esteemed Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario, a testament to her remarkable talent and dedication to her craft.

Notably, Griffin's exceptional acting abilities were showcased in the television movie "I'll Take Manhattan" (1987),a rare opportunity for her to demonstrate her range in a US production. However, it is her extensive body of work in her home country of Canada that has garnered her widespread recognition and acclaim.
