About Beck Norman

Storyteller (Photographer, Writer, Performer, Producer)

Beck Norman is a multi-international-award-winning writer, performer and producer. She has appeared in film and on television, stage and radio.

As well, she has produced live news-affairs and call-in shows and award-winning podcasts. In her advertising days, she even wrote gag lines for the late Joan Rivers.

Beck has been writing and performing all her life. At the age of four, her father brought home a tape recorder. She immediately chose the stage name Rebecca LaTour and made her father and mother the unwitting accomplices – otherwise referred to as "guests" – on her daily interview show, cleverly entitled The Rebecca LaTour Show. (She was four. What did you expect?)

In order to stop having to be her interview guests, and to get her out of the house more, her parents put her in dance lessons. She started dancing constantly. So, her parents thought acting lessons might burn off some energy. She started to put on plays at school and in the backyard.

Then at 13, she met a girl at a birthday party who was doing commercials. That started the search to take this performing path seriously.

Her parents knew nothing about this type of work and had no interest in learning, so Beck took her babysitting money, got some head shots and went off to get an agent and a union card. The rest is history.

In her spare time, Beck Norman managed to get a BA in Psychology and a BEd from York University, Toronto, mostly to make her parents happy. In case that “Rebecca LaTour” thing didn’t work out.
