Nancy & Barbara have been working in the entertainment business since they were teenagers -- in many capacities.
At 14 they started acting in several television commercials. Soon after, Nancy and Barbara appeared in movies, among them Denys Arcand's Academy Award-winning, "Jesus of Montreal."
In their early 20's Nancy and Barbara started singing and formed the band, "Les Jumelles Magma" (The Magma Twins), which later became "NXB." They recorded two albums as singers which led to four hit songs landing in the top ten on the Quebecois Billboard charts and also on the Canadian Billboard chart. They appeared on several Quebec television shows and performed live on Canada Day before 100 thousand spectators in Ottawa and on national TV via Radio Canada Television (CBC).
In their late 20’s Nancy and Barbara moved to Los Angeles. They had small speaking roles in "Mr. Deeds" and "Malcolm in The Middle." Additionally, they worked as stand-in's. Nancy doubled for Catherine Keener, Emily Mortimer, Scarlett Chorvat and Terry Hatcher. Barbara doubled for Elizabeth Hurley on "Bedazzled" and Kathryn Morris in Steven Spielberg's "Minority Report."
In 2001 Nancy and Barbara returned to Montreal where they began working behind the camera, non-stop. Nancy worked as a makeup artist for commercials, movies, fashion shows and print. Barbara worked as an executive assistant for Director David Fincher, Producer Jeff Silver and personal assistant for actors Meghan Markle, Charlotte Rampling, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Peter Dinklage, Kelsey Grammer, Ellen Page, James McAvoy, Patrick Stewart and Lena Headey to name a few.
Occasionally, Nancy freelances as a personal assistant on American movies shooting in Montreal. She assisted Jacinda Barrett on "The Last Kiss," Michelle Yeoh on "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and Halle Berry on "X-Men Days of Future Past."
Currently Nancy is one of the busiest makeup artists in Montreal, focusing mainly in fashion and print.
All of these experiences have given Nancy and Barbara a unique, and complete, understanding of the filmmaking craft as well as all aspects of the entertainment and advertising industry.
