So, forget ice hockey and sketch comedy; Laura Vandervoort is Canada’s new hottest export. Starting this season, the comely Canuck will debut on the CW’s Smallville as Clark Kent’s cousin Kara Zor-El—aka Supergirl. But make no mistake, Kara is not a goody-goody like that poindexter Clark. “They see things very differently,” Laura explains. “Kara is a strong-willed woman who is often more than Clark can handle. She’s a lot more rebellious.” Unlike her character, Laura is a sweet, easygoing Toronto native who loves nothing more than listening to tunes while sharpening her karate skills. Think you’re ready to meet this high-flying cutie? Then grab hold of some cape and hang on!
