A Rogue’s Tale

A Memoir

By: Lenore Zann

Narrated by: Lenore Zann

Despite numerous obstacles, small-town girl Lenore Zann caught the acting bug early. She was “discovered” at 19 and chosen to play Marilyn Monroe in a rock opera based on the life of the tragic movie star. Her powerhouse performance kickstarted her career, leading to hundreds of acting credits in film, TV, theatre, radio, and animation, including her iconic portrayal of Rogue in the very popular animated series X-Men: The Animated Series.

A Rogue's Tale reveals the good, the bad, and the ugly in show business. It recounts her personal interactions with Stephen Spielberg, Tiny Tim, Craig Russell, and Rita MacNeil, dating celebrities Keanu Reeves, Andy Gibb, Lou Gossett Jr, and Page Fletcher, and working with award-winning actors and directors such as Sam Rockwell, Mark Wahlberg, Clark Gregg, Henry Czerny, Atom Egoyan, Antoine Fuqua, and other Hollywood heavyweights.

Despite a successful acting career, in a strange twist of fate, like Marilyn Monroe herself, alcohol and drugs brought Lenore to her knees at the age of 36. But unlike Marilyn (who succumbed to her addictions at the same age), Lenore decided the braver choice was to live, which led to a powerful spiritual awakening and a new sense of purpose. This decision has enabled Lenore to fly to even greater heights on the magical wings of Disney.

Like her iconic character Rogue, Lenore Zann's determination to rise from the ashes again and again, to stand up not only for herself but for others, is a masterful lesson in how to roll with the punches, to awaken the inner superhero, and constantly re-emerge from devastation and destruction—like the mythical Phoenix.

A Rogue's Tale will appeal to listeners of all ages who are looking for a fresh voice and perspective on life with a pop culture twist to help them navigate their own journey during uncertain and dangerous times.

OUTSTANDING!!!

What a thrill and a joy to learn about the incredible journey of the talented and wonderful Lenore who I get to call friend. Highly recommend it. Hearing it all from her voice. What a gift!

Lenore’s Resilience was something to behold

I met Lenore 2 years ago in person while she was doing meet and greets for X-Men ‘97. Before anyone even got to meet the cast that was there beside her. She took the time to greet everyone in line and my family and I were so excited to meet her. There was something about her presence and you could tell she was very happy to be there. When I got to meet her, I told her that her character meant a lot to me and she was sweet and kind and even gave my brother supportive words and an autograph on his drawing he made for her.

I bought her book as soon as it was available and even waited a few months after its release to receive it. I figured the book would be a telling of her life story, but it was much more than that. Being at the age of 25, Lenore starts the book with words that stuck with me and made me look at life in a different perspective. Not only did I get to understand what her life was like and many misadventures that’s happened to her are similar that happened to me, but I felt like I became a friend. Her positivity radiates throughout the book and now I wish I could have told her more when I got to meet her back in 2024 about her strengths. Her voice is lovely throughout and it feels 100% true to what she intended to convey.
