NOW caught up with Tracy Wright as she was set to open as a rock star casualty in The Book Of Rejection, courtesy of the Augusta Theatre Company.

But she always seemed to embrace her musician characters with a particular passion – here and in Bruce McDonald’s 1991 film, Highway 61, and 2010’s Trigger. It was her final screen performance – Wright died last June, leaving a gaping hole in Toronto’s arts landscape. Find it here.
