Biography
French actress Katherine Kath made her first English-language screen appearance in
Moulin Rouge (1952). She went on to appear in several films set in Paris, among them
Anastasia (1956) and
Gigot (1962). In the latter film, she was afforded second billing -- right after
Jackie Gleason -- as Colette, the streetwalker mother of innocent little Nicole (Diane Gardner). She was briefly married to British filmmaker
Jack Clayton, though curiously was never directed by him. Active until 1987, Katherine Kath's later screen roles included Catherine de Medici in 1971's Mary Queen of Scots. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
