She was born Ellen Philpotts-Page in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the 21st of February, 1987. Her mother, Martha Philpotts, was a primary school teacher - she'd later teach First and Second Grade at the Ecole Grosvenor-Wentworth Park School in Halifax. Ellen's father was Dennis Page, a graphic designer hailing from Lockeport, a small fishing village with a population of some 700, on an island in Ragged Islands Bay near the south end of Nova Scotia. Dennis had been married before, giving Ellen a stepbrother and stepsister. He and Martha would split when Ellen was young, though both would be heavily involved in her upbringing. Later he'd marry again, to Debbie.
In 2002, Page continued her busy schedule. She appeared in the Canadian TV series, "Trailer Park Boys," which received a Gemini nomination for best ensemble cast, and "Rideau Hall," as well as the Canadian feature films, "Marion Bridge," and "The Wet Season." The following year, after appearing in "Touch & Go" and the Canadian TV movie, "Mrs. Ashboro's Cat," she made her US television debut on the Lifetime Network's "Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story." For her performance as Emily Anderson in the 2004 film, "Wilby Wonderful," Page won a best actress award at the Atlantic Film Festival. She also appeared as a regular that year in the popular Canadian sci-fi series, "ReGenesis" (2004- ).
Page's next film brought the young actress her first major American publicity - "Hard Candy" (2006), a provocative film in which she portrayed a strong-willed 14-year-old who is targeted by an internet predator, but who turns the tables, exacting revenge on her would-be attacker.
