Catherine, often called Cathy, grew up near Houston, Texas where her mother and sister still live.
Catherine is a “sibling.” Growing up with a severely disabled sibling has given Catherine great empathy, openness, generosity, and maturity. These are precious gifts used in her work as an actor.
Catherine’s husband is from Italy. She is actively learning Italian but can get confused with her intermediate level of Spanish.
