[edit] Career

Born in Lancashire, England, Jacqueline Burroughs has acted in live theatre at Ontario's Stratford Festival. Her film credits have included The Dead Zone (1982), The Grey Fox (1982), and a voice-over stint in the legendary animated anthology Heavy Metal (1981), while her TV-series résumé includes the roles of Mrs. Amelia Evans in Anne of Green Gables (1985) and Hetty King in Road to Avonlea (1990). In 1987, Jackie Burroughs produced, directed, wrote, and starred in A Winter Tan, a film based on the letters of Maryse Holder, published in 1979 as the book entitled "Give Sorrow Words - Maryse Holder's Letters from Mexico". She won a Genie award for best performance by an actress in a leading role for the film. She has won several Genies and Geminis during her career. Burroughs currently resides in both Toronto and Oaxaca, Mexico.

Burroughs played the voice of The Spirit in 1985's The Care Bears Movie.

She is perhaps best known to American audiences for her portrayal of the fictional character, Hetty King, in the CBC television series, Road to Avonlea from 1990 to 1996. The series was based on the works of Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery and produced by Sullivan Entertainment. She also played Mother Mucca in the television adaptations of Armistead Maupin's More Tales of the City and Further Tales of the City. Burroughs again played a mother role in 2003's Willard.

She also appears in the movie The Sentinel. She appeared in the Smallville Season one episode "Hourglass". She portrayed elderly prophetess Cassandra Carver, whom could foretell people's futures by touching their hands. Carver died immediately after seeing dark visions of Lex Luthor being the American President and for causing widespread destruction on humanity.
