Judith Katz-Schwartz

Judith was born and raised in New York City, a town so nice they named it twice. Her Dad was a garment center executive and her Mom a homemaker. Judith attended the High School of Music and Art, Brooklyn College, and Le Cordon Bleu. She spent many years as a chef in various New York restaurants, before forming her own antiques company in 1989. Judith's start in TV came when Fox Television launched the FX Network in 1994. While putting together the smash hit, Personal FX: The Collectibles Show (1994), the producers happened upon Judith and asked her to audition. She became part of the cast and appeared on the show from its first episode to its last. The show aired for four years, always at the top of the ratings. This led to Judith's appearances on a variety of television shows, from Good Morning America (1975) to Fox and Friends (1998), where she is known for her quick wit and wealth of knowledge. Nowadays, Judith is the antiques and collectibles expert for The Montel Williams Show (1991), appearing several times a year. She just completed a pilot, called "All Dolled Up", for the new Smithsonian TV Network. Judith is also a member of an improvisational comedy group and does stand-up comedy around New York.
