History
Carole Corbeil was born in Montreal to French-speaking parents and grew up in a francophone household. After her parents' divorce and her mother's re-marriage to an anglophone, she transferred to an English school. She continued her International Baccalaureate in Wales then returned home to study at York University in Toronto. In the 1980s she was hired by the Globe and Mail to write on theatre, dance, and the visual arts. In the 1990s, she also wrote a weekly arts column for the Toronto Star and was a contributor to This Magazine.
In 1992, Corbeil published her first novel, Voice-Over, about the life of a documentary filmmaker from Quebec. Her second novel, In the Wings (1997), followed the relationship of two people acting the roles of Hamlet and Gertrude in a theatrical production of Hamlet.
Corbeil passed away from cancer in 2000.
