Early life and career

Born in Toronto in 1948, [4] and raised in Waterdown, Ontario, [2] Keane was one of three children born to John H. and Grace R. Keane. [5] She attended Rittenhouse Public School, [6] [7] the Royal Academy of Music of Toronto in Hamilton, [8] and McMaster University. [9] [2]

Her early film career included roles in The Incubus (1982), Spasms (1983), Morning Man (1986) and Bates Motel (1987). In 1987 she appeared in the film Obsessed [3] and was nominated for the 1989 Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role. Keane also played the leading female role in the film Distant Thunder (1988) and appeared in the superhero film Steel (1997). [3] She co-hosted What Will They Think of Next? with actor Joseph Campanella, [2] and appeared on episodes of such television series as Star Trek: The Next Generation , Matlock and Beverly Hills, 90210 . [3]

Personal life

On 10 September 1970, Keane married non-actor William Henry Momotiuk, whom she had met in college. [1] [2] They separated briefly in 1986, but, as of January 1987, had reconciled. [10] This appears to have remained the case at least as late as October 1995, when her father died, survived by—among others—"Kerrie and her husband Willy Momotiuk of Los Angeles, Cal." [7]

Keane was predeceased by her younger brother, John Keane, following a lengthy illness which cut short a promising operatic career. [5] [11] [12]
