Ann-Marie MacDonald (born October 29, 1958) is a Canadian playwright, novelist, actor, and broadcast journalist who lives in Toronto, Ontario. The daughter of a member of Canada's military, she was born at an air force base near Baden-Baden, West Germany. She won the Commonwealth Writers Prize for her first novel, Fall on Your Knees, which was also named to Oprah Winfrey's Book Club. Her 2003 novel, The Way the Crow Flies, was partly inspired by the Steven Truscott case. She received the Governor General's Award for Literary Merit, the Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award and the Canadian Author's Association Award for her play, Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet). She appeared in the films I've Heard the Mermaids Singing, and Better Than Chocolate, among others. She also hosted the CBC Documentary series Life and Times (1996-2007).
