Meredith Henderson :
Meredith began taking acting classes and working in amateur theatre at the age of five. Her parents, both active in amateur theatre, encouraged all their children to participate in drama classes in school and in extra-curricular programs. At the age of nine Meredith decided she wanted to audition, which led her to her first role as the star of the television movie SONGSPINNER. Before she was cast as the enigmatic Shirley Holmes, Meredith guest starred on the YTV series GOOSEBUMPS and narrated a CD-ROM for the Ontario Ministry of Education. In the spring of 1997 Meredith starred in the feature film KAYLA.
"She's really cool." Meredith says when asked about Shirley, "Shirley Holmes is smart and she likes to show people how clever she is. She is inquisitive and she is driven. She is also a loner and doesn't care what people think about her. She just does what she wants to do. Shirley Holmes is a lot like me. I am not as inquisitive as her, but I still want to know about things."
"The character of Shirley has really grown and deepened over the last two seasons, and Meredith has grown right along with her", says Producer Helena Cynamon. "She has gained tremendously in confidence and had a lot of fun this year with all the challenges we threw at 'Shirley'." Meredith Henderson lives in Vancouver with her Mom. She enjoys singing, jazz dancing, swimming and she loves animals.
