Stephanie Grace Morgenstern (born December 10, 1965) is a Swiss-Canadian actress, filmmaker, and screenwriter for television and film. Born in Geneva, Switzerland and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Morgenstern began her acting career when she was 15. She has worked extensively on stage, film, and television in both English and French. Her most widely-seen screen credits have been The Sweet Hereafter, Maelstrom, Revoir Julie and Forbidden Love. Stephanie has been twice nominated for Genie (Canadian Academy) Awards: for directing the short film Remembrance, which she also co-wrote and co-starred in with her husband Mark Ellis, and co-directing (with her brother Mark Morgenstern) the short film Curtains, which she also wrote and played the lead in. Morgenstern is most widely recognized by anime fans as Sailor Venus in the English dub of Sailor Moon, and provides the voice for Yin in the Disney cartoon "Yin Yang Yo."
