Biography / Administrative History
Audrey (Babs) McLaren was born 31 October, 1916, in Hythe, England. Her parents moved to Canada when she was one year old. She was educated in Hamilton, Ontario; Montreux, Switzerland; and Florence, Italy. In 1941, she joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. At the end of the Second World War, she joined the National Film Board as a film cutter and became a film technician the following year. At the Film Board, she met Alma Duncan, with whom she formed the film company, Dunclaren Productions, in 1951, where she acted as cameraman. After Dunclaren ceased its activities, she worked as a photographer.
Ms. McLaren continues to reside in Ottawa, where she was still living in a retirement home in 2011. |
