For a long time, Scarborough’s Stephanie Beard, otherwise known as Sugar, was one of the most recognizable people in children’s television, thanks in part to her almost unbelievably high squeaky voice.
In addition to voicing Rini on Sailor Moon, she was one of the hosts of YTV’s The Zone from 2001 to 2007 along with a fella by the name of Carlos Bustamante.
Where do you take your career after becoming such a recognizable part of kids’ TV in Canada? Why, Hollywood of course.
Since leaving YTV, Beard, who now goes by Sugar Lyn Beard, has slowly but steadily been stringing together some fairly impressive projects south of the border. And it looks like things are going to get even hotter for the pint-sized thespian.
Beard is just wrapping production on Aloha, a new blockbuster Cameron Crowe film that stars Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper and Rachel McAdams.
The movie, which opens May 29, is about a former military contractor who returns to Hawaii, the site of his greatest triumphs as part of the U.S. space program.
In addition, she is currently filming Sausage Party. Now, before rolling your eyes, this is the latest project from Seth Rogen and James Franco. In the raunchy animated movie, Beard plays a character named Baby Carrot. It’s slated for release in June 2016.
OK, maybe roll your eyes a bit.
