Luba Goy

Luba Goy (born November 8 1945 [http://www.fsatoronto.com/media/presspdfs/LubaGoy.pdf] [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0333009/bio] in Belgium) is one of the stars of "Royal Canadian Air Farce". In the early 1980s, she also starred (as herself, alongside Billy Van) in an educational series on computers called "Bits and Bytes". Produced by TV Ontario, the show was aired by PBS stations in the United States.

Later that decade, she played "Lotsa Heart Elephant" and "Gentle Heart Lamb" in Nelvana's animated Care Bears franchise.

Goy was born in Belgium to Ukrainian parents and raised in Ottawa. They immigrated to Canada in 1951. She graduated from Canada's National Theatre School, before acting in theatre productions in Stratford, Ontario. Within the Ukrainian Canadian community she occasionally has comedy performances that highlight her Ukrainian heritage. One such example was her involvement in 1999 with the Ukrainian pavilion at Folklorama, a cultural festival in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She speaks Ukrainian fluently. Luba's film roles have included an 18th century innkeeper in the Ukrainian film "Vidma" (Witch), filmed in Kiev.

As part of the Air Farce team, Goy has won a fifteen ACTRA awards, a Juno, the MacLean's Honour Roll, and was among the first Canadians to be inducted into the International Humour Hall of Fame. In 1993, Goy and her Air Farce cast members received Honorary Doctor of Law degrees from Brock University. In 1996, Goy received the Outstanding Achievement Award from Women in Film and Television.
