Early Life
Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British Columbia, the daughter of Barry, a furnace repairman, and Carol (née Grosco) Anderson, a waitress. Her great-grandfather, Juho Hyytiäinen, was Finnish, a native of Saarijärvi, and left the Grand Duchy of Finland (which was a part of the Russian Empire at the time) in 1908,. He changed his name to Anderson when he arrived as an immigrant as many immigrants do, to assimilate. Anderson also has Russian ancestry on her mother's side.
