Curiosidades

In addition to being the first Angel to be cast in As Panteras (1976), she was responsible for coming up with the show's name.
Had to turn down the Meryl Streep role in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) because of scheduling conflicts with As Panteras (1976). This eventually prompted the actress to leave the TV series. Streep won an Oscar for the role.
Has survived two battles with breast cancer. Once in 1987, and again in 1989. After a partial mastectomy and radiation, she won her fight and shared her experience to highlight the importance of mammograms.
She met her As Panteras (1976) co-stars long before they were cast in the hit show. When she first came to Hollywood, she saw Farrah Fawcett at a party and thought that if all girls in Hollywood were as beautiful as Farrah, she didn't have a chance and might as well go home to Alabama. Luckily, she stayed and became a star. She met Jaclyn Smith at an audition for another show. Jaclyn and Farrah had worked together before on a Max Factor commercial, and they knew each other. But it was As Panteras (1976) that put all three of them together for the first time, and they formed a strong bond that lasted over three decades, until Fawcett passed away in 2009.
She had developed an unfair reputation for being difficult on As Panteras (1976). The truth was she was strong and protective towards her costars Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith and frequently stopped the producers from overworking them. They had wanted the three actresses to give up their lunch hour to pose for "Time" magazine cover in 1976, and both Farrah and Jaclyn were willing, since they deemed it a prestigious honor, but Kate saw it as one more way for the producers to encroach on their personal time. She locked herself in with her trailer with Farrah and Jaclyn and told the producers that the door was stuck and won't open. The three had their lunch for 45 minutes, when the producers struggled to open the door and begged them to pose for "Time" magazine, which they did in the last 15 minutes of their lunch hour.

Citações

[on her As Panteras (1976) days] It was good when it was good . . . and when it wasn't good, it was bad.
I'd rather share the glory of a hit than star by myself in a flop.
[talking about the film versions of As Panteras (1976)] I think they missed the mark. In the TV show, Farrah [Farrah Fawcett], Jaclyn [Jaclyn Smith] and I were best friends who cared for each other and I think that came through in the acting. In the movies, they were too busy competing with each other, trying to see who could jump the highest or wear the tightest clothes.
When you think about As Panteras (1976), you think about three specific people. You think about Farrah Fawcett, and Jaclyn Smith, and me. So the only problem with the As Panteras (2000) movie might be, Charlie's Angels aren't in it.
[In 2009, a day after Farrah Fawcett died] When the first year of As Panteras (1976) ended, our friendship didn't. It just grew stronger and closer through the years. I don't know what the connection that the three of us have is, but it is there, and it is something extremely special. I think that is the reason the show worked. I think it's even better than the movies because we truly cared about each other and still do. It was a pleasure and a privilege.
