Zoë Newman

Zoë Newman

Zoë Newman is a former Canadian actress best known for her role as Ida Lucas in the original Degrassi series, "The Kids of Degrassi Street", which ran from 1981 to 1986. The series was inspired by a 1979 short film titled "Ida Makes a Movie", starring Newman as Ida Lucas, Dawn Harrision as Ida's best friend Catherine "Cookie" Peters, and Allan Melusi as Fred Lucas, the older brother of Ida.

Newman later became a professor at the University of Toronto in Ontario, Canada. She later left U of T because they had not offered her a full-time position (she was teaching there on a stipend basis, but she wanted a tenure stream position). In July 2006, she had taken a teaching position at York University in the Sociology Department.
