This is the synopsis of the quicktime Q&A sessions available
from the official site for Kathryn Morris.
Her birthday is January 28, but she won't disclose the year.
Her favorite food is Ben and Jerry's Brownie ice cream sandwich, but you have to go to
several 7-11 stores to seek it out -- they don't carry it at all of them. The sandwiches
are "truly heaven."
She's not into participating in sports that much, but will watch Ice Skating -- finds that
to be beautiful.
As far as hobbies go, she has lots of power tools that she likes to play with. She'll
strip cabinets or do other things around the house. (She laid the linoleum in the kitchen
at her house.) She likes to write, and try different arts and crafts type things.
She started performing around the age of 5; her family had a singing group that did a lot
of traveling (very "Partridge Family" like) and this segued into theater for her. Ultimately,
she decided to pursue acting professionally. Since she'd been on the stage since a kid,
acting was a natural progression for her.
She's been acting professionally for about 7 years now; before that she did a lot of "free
stuff," as well as waitressing and other things.
When she does have time to relax, she likes to go to the movies. She usually sees the
independent features that don't spend much time at the theatres, but are usually the
best films.
For a quick getaway, she'll go to San Fransisco -- just the "coolest town!" Loves to eat
Chinese food at this little restaurant where you have to stand in line for 2 hours to get
in, but it has the best food. Then on to Ghirardelli's for a big sundae.
Her first acting job was on an NBC movie, Long Road Home, which starred Mark Harmon. She
portrayed a young girl who lost a child to diptheria in the Depression. Had a choppy
haircut and was like doing The Grapes of Wrath on television. She considers it to have
been an "awesome experience and a great way to break into the business."
If she couldn't be an actor, she'd definitely *not* be in a 9-5 type of job. She doesn't
think her personality would mesh well with that. She'd probably be a filmmaker or writer.
And if she was a filmmaker, and didn't know what she was doing, she'd try to hire a lot of
great people, wear a baseball cap, and try to have a little authority.
Her favorite author is Tennessee Williams. An "incredible playwright -- timeless,
dangerous, funny; incredible."
She grew up all over the United States -- primarily the South -- Texas -- even spent some
time in Brooklyn -- lot of time in Connecticut.
Connecticut was very cold; she spent a lot of time shoveling driveways (only one boy in the
family so they all had to help.) It was also an airport town -- nothing much to do, so
she would spend time at McDonald's or driving around in her best friend's Nova listening
to AC/DC and Rush and stuff like that.
Right now she really enjoys Alternative music because so many different kinds of musical
styles are being incorporated into it. She thinks Radiohead is incredible, and really likes
Sting because he tries to incorporate a lot of different stuff into his work. She also
enjoys the classics, like the classic jazz tunes. Not a big fan of country, though.
If she could only take three things to a desert island, she'd take a TV, a satellite dish,
and a man.
