Katherine Walsh

Actress, born in Northern Kentucky on April 11, 1947. The first born daughter out of five children born to Thomas and Martha Katherine Walsh. From the moment of birth, Kathy was not only beautiful and brilliant, but she had a confidence unlike that of most newborns. She was exceptionally talented and wickedly witty. Kathy always knew that she wanted to be an actress. From the time her siblings were old enough, Kathy would write, direct and of course star in plays for any and all family parties. Her first starring role was in "Alice in Wonderland" at the Villa Madonna Academy. Kathy was the perfect Alice. In 1963, her mother temporarily moved to Beverly Hills with three dogs and four of the five children: Kath, Timmy, Sharon Ann, and Denis. Kath quickly established herself and and was signed with the William Morris Agency. Katherine had also signed a Hollywood contract with Columbia pictures. In 1965, while studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, England, She learned of the tragic death of her father in an American Airlines Boeing 727 jet that crashed upon landing at Northern Kentucky's Greater Cincinnati Airport. With strength, courage and love it was Kathy who, at only eighteen years of age, brought joy back into the Walsh family. That was short lived, because on the 7 of October, 1970, the news of Katherine Victoria Walsh's mysterious death in London, England devastated her mother. Within ten years, Martha Katherine Walsh died at age 62. Whether or not her photos and stills remain uncredited, Kath is and always will be a star.
