Happy Birthday, Kate Walsh! Another October 13th birthday and girl crush! I think I’m seeing a pattern!Kathleen Erin Walsh was born October 13, 1967, in San Jose, California. Kate is an American actress and businesswoman and former model. Her roles include Dr. Addison Montgomery on the ABC television dramas Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, Rebecca Wright on the short-lived NBC sitcom Bad Judge, and Olivia Baker on the critically acclaimed Netflix drama series 13 Reasons Why.Kate grew up partly in San Jose and partly in Tucson, Arizona, later attending the University of Arizona, where she got involved in regional theater. Her first major television appearance came on The Drew Carey Show (1995) where she portrayed Niki Fifer, Drew’s girlfriend and a woman struggling with her weight.Kate headlines a new indie drama called “Angels Crest,” in which she plays a lesbian artist in a small-town tale alongside Jeremy Piven and Mira Sorvino. The perhaps oxymoronic gruff artist was a role she very much enjoyed.“I loved the character, and the relationship between her and her partner was really interesting to me.” This isn’t Walsh’s first time playing a lesbian. In 2003, Walsh played Sandra Oh’s partner in “Under the Tuscan Sun,” and had a two-episode arc on “Karen Sisco.” Walsh played a transsexual in a “CSI” guest spot. In 2005, she played a lesbian in the indie film “Inside Out”.Obviously, it’s a role Walsh doesn’t shy away from. To her, a character’s sexuality is secondary at best. Regarding her lesbian roles, Walsh said: “Do I give off a girl-on-girl vibe, I wonder? Or is it because I’m tall? I guess the chicks just dig me!" (me: Yes! Yes! and Yes!)In September 2017, Walsh revealed that she was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor in 2015. She underwent surgery and had the tumor successfully removed. Walsh took a nine-month break to recover. Since the summer of 2007, Walsh has been the spokesperson for Narcolepsy Network, working to promote national awareness of narcolepsy through infomercials and DVDs.Kate Walsh has an Official Website on Tumblr containing official news, photos, and blog posts about her life and roles, plus cats, dogs, food, charity work, and her fragrance line Boyfriend.

Personal Quotes “My very first job was a cashier at Burger King in Tucson, Arizona. And I occasionally worked the drive-thru. I’d go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty.”“You never want to rest on your laurels. You want to keep doing things that terrify you.”“I have always been the girl who keeps on trying. I try! I try!”“I’m stronger and sassier as a redhead.”“My mom, she’s a breast cancer survivor and because of that, I had started getting mammograms once a year, starting at age 30. I think a lot of people just aren’t aware how young you can be and be diagnosed with breast cancer.” “I still like to make crank calls.”Sources:WikipediaIMDYouTubekatewalsh.com -- source link
