Katharine Isabelle

Was originally asked to audition to play Lori in Freddy contra Jason (2003), but when she arrived, director Ronny Yu asked her to audition for the role of Gibb, claiming she would better suit a more liberal role. Katharine reluctantly accepted.

Yu failed to tell her she would be expected to do the nude scenes, which would spark friction between the two during shooting when she made it clear she would not do the nude scenes.

[on American Mary (2012)] I have some friends who are just too scared to see it. My brother has seen it at least six times and still can't watch one scene in particular, but my mother made it through the whole thing without any problem at all. My dad was the very first person I went to with the script - to make sure I wasn't crazy for loving this. I knew if my dad liked it, it was good.
