VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have been released from a Canadian detention facility after she was declared a Canadian citizen, Canadian border officials said Wednesday.
The Canada Border Services Agency confirmed in a statement that Evi Quaid is a citizen of Canada.
The pair had appeared at an immigration hearing in which they requested refugee status based on their belief that they were being persecuted by "Hollywood star whackers," as they put it, and that their lives were in danger.
During the hearing, Evi Quaid repeatedly said her father was a Canadian FBI agent, a claim she explained later by saying her father was a Canadian who moved to the United States and began working for the FBI.
Catherine Sas, the Quaid's new lawyer, said Evi Quaid can live and work in Canada and border officials have withdrawn their proceedings.
