Krista Sutton (born March 29, 1970) is a Canadian actress, best known for her leading role in the improvisational drama series Train 48.[1]
Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, she grew up in Toronto, Ontario, and was educated at Havergal College and the University of Toronto.[2] Her parents, Bill and Pat Sutton, were theatre practitioners who launched the Georgian Theatre Festival in Meaford, Ontario, where Krista has also been an actor and director.[3]
She had her first prominent role in the 2000 film American Psycho as Sabrina, a sex worker who was at the centre of the sex scene that controversially led to the film getting an NC-17 rating.[4] In 2003, she received a Dora Mavor Moore Award nomination for Outstanding Actress, Independent Theatre, for her performance in This Could Be Love.[5]
She was cowriter with Penelope Buitenhuis of the 2009 film A Wake, in which she also played one of the main roles.[6]
