Born in 1931, the youngest in a family of seven children, Lachapelle was drawn to acting from a young age. When her brothers and sisters put on plays, she would recite poems during the intermissions, and she participated in all her school shows. She was just six when she started diction classes, and by 14 she was studying acting at Studio 15.
