Carmen Aguirre is a Chilean-born Canadian actress and writer. She plays a prominent role in Endgame.[1]
Early in her life, she lived and worked as a member of the Chilean Resistance. Carmen was raped by the “Paper Bag Killer” which was the alias of John Horace Oughton, a prolific sexual predator who assaulted more than 100 women and children between 1977 and 1985.
Her 2011 book Something Fierce: Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter was a memoir of her childhood, which she spent moving around regularly with her parents, who were part of the Chilean Resistance against Augusto Pinochet.[2] [3] [4] The book was selected for the 2012 edition of CBC Radio's Canada Reads, defended by musician Shad; it was announced as the winner of the competition on February 9, 2012.[5]
Aguirre has written over 20 stage plays to date, including In a Land Called I Don't Remember, Chile Con Carne, The Trigger and The Refugee Hotel.[6] Her comments on "cancel culture" were published in Rungh Magazine.[7]
