Jude has covered a wide range of roles — from Carol the nurse in "Pet Sematary: Bloodlines" and the quietly sinister school nurse in Lucky McKee's "The Woods" to the unhinged mother Evelyn Kent in Richard Roy's "Forbidden Secrets," to the elegant Parisian traveler impersonating James McAvoy and working alongside Jennifer Lawrence in "X-Men: Days of Future Past." She has played key roles in popular television series: "Regenisis II," "Kojak," "The Fifth Estate," and "Toi et Moi."

She is regularly heard on CBC Radio, where she portrays Elsie Reford on "Ideas" and reads stories on "Cinq À Six," and also works in radio drama. She also voices commercials and corporate materials, including Air Canada (international first class), for which she has received industry awards. She is a dialect specialist.

Classically trained in Canada and abroad, Jude played an important role in the development of new Canadian drama, working with Peter Hinton, Paula Danckert, Eda Holmes, and others. She enjoyed playing the lead role of Roxane in the new play "The Blood Harmonic," which premiered in Montreal, and she was thrilled to work with her late husband Gordon Masten and their best man Ari Snyder on "Counting The Ways"… and others.
