Pointe Claire is a sleepy area on the island of Montreal called"the West Island. A lot of people aren't aware of what the term means and assume it's a separate Island west of Montreal. The truth is, this part of Montreal is more than that. West Island includes the entire part of the island from Lachine to the west. Amanda Brugel was born there as well. However, she only spent a short period of time there. Brugel had a childhood in Courtice, outside Oshawa, Ontario. She had a dream to become dancing at first however due to an explosive growth rate, she outgrew dance partners. In a piece in the Toronto Star she admitted, "In heels at 6' 1 inch. As I grew older, my male companions, I stopped. The former dancers usually turn to acting. In Brugel's case, it was the guidance of the drama teacher she had at her high school that brought her to take the step she wanted. Her teacher recommended her to audition as Anne for their school's annual production. After trying out, she ended up as the leading actress in Anne of Green Gables. Her Fine Arts Talent Award at York University led her to the Theater Program that she attended until 2000 with a bachelor's of fine arts degree.
