About Guest

Despite numerous obstacles, small-town girl Lenore Zann caught the acting bug early. She was “discovered” at 19 and chosen to play Marilyn Monroe in a rock opera based on the life of the tragic movie star. Her powerhouse performance kick-started her career, leading to hundreds of acting credits in film, TV, theatre, radio, and animation, including her iconic portrayal of Rogue in X-Men: The Animated Series and Marvel’s new hit, X-Men ’97, which is currently nominated for the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program.

Beyond her contributions to The X-Men, Lenore has voiced characters in The Avengers: United They Stand, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Outlaw Star, Serial Experiments Lain, plus so many more.

Despite a successful acting career, in a strange twist of fate, like Marilyn Monroe herself, alcohol and drugs brought Lenore to her knees at the age of 36. But unlike Marilyn, Lenore decided the braver choice was to live, which led to a powerful spiritual awakening and a new sense of purpose. Like her iconic character Rogue, Lenore Zann’s determination to rise from the ashes again and again, to stand up not only for herself but for others, is a masterful lesson in how to roll with the punches, to awaken the inner superhero, and constantly re-emerge from devastation and destruction – like the mythical Phoenix.

Her memoir, A Rogue’s Tale, reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly in show business. Recounting her professional and personal interactions with some of Hollywood’s most intriguing celebrities including Keanu Reeves, Stephen Spielberg, and more, the book is slated for release later this year, but we’ll have some early copies available at Lenore’s signing table to purchase!
