Played "Wendy" and "Jane" on Broadway in the original cast of the musical version of "Peter Pan", opposite Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard. The musical opened on October 20, 1954 and ran for 154 performances. Kathleen reprized her role, twice, on television.
When I was six years old, I negotiated a raise for myself with the
captain of the showboat because I was making 50 cents and everybody
else was earning $2.50 a night and I didn't think that was right. So I
went to him on my own and I not only ended up with my raise but
everybody went up to $3.00. I guess that was my first negotiation.
