Stage and screen legend Shirley Douglas has a bone to pick with the CBC.
The 78-year-old actress says the public broadcaster is not doing enough to build up a homegrown star system.
Douglas bemoaned the state of Canada’s entertainment industry before accepting a lifetime achievement award Saturday night from the Toronto branch of Canada’s performer’s union, known as the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists.
She was escorted to the bash by her famous son Kiefer Sutherland, who also said more must be done to create a star system akin to Hollywood.
