MARY WALSH created and starred in This Hour Has 22 Minutes, CBC's comedic take on current affairs. The series earned her many of her numerous Gemini Awards (now called the Canadian Screen Awards) and showcased her dynamic range of characters, including the flagrantly outspoken Marg Delahunty. Walsh wrote, produced, and starred in the award-winning series Hatching, Matching and Dispatching, which returned to CBC in 2017 as a feature length presentation called A Christmas Fury, with Walsh and the original cast reprising their roles. She has also been nominated for two Genies for her performances in feature films Crackie and New Waterford Girl. In 2017 she published her debut novel, the Canadian bestseller Crying for the Moon. Among her many awards and doctorates, Mary is the recipient of the Order of Canada, the Governor General's Lifetime Achievement Award in the Performing Arts, and the CSA's Earle Grey Award for lifetime achievement in television acting.
