Curiosidades

A former teen rider on the rodeo circuit.

Was Ron Shelton's first choice for "Annie" in Sorte no Amor (1988), but the studio didn't feel she was bankable enough.

Ex-daughter-in-law of Evelyn Ward and Jack Cassidy.

On September 23rd, 1976, Kay Lenz appeared on The Tonight Show, and when Johnny Carson asked her if she was married, she said "No, I'm not, and I don't plan to for quite some time." She went on to explain various reasons why she wouldn't get married anytime soon, emphasizing that she was so dedicated to her own acting career that she didn't have time to share with anyone else. And when Johnny said "You probably wouldn't marry an actor anyway, would you?", she quickly replied "No!" Just six months later, on April 3, 1977, she married actor David Cassidy (whom she had met on a blind date just three months before their marriage).

Godmother of Carlyle Taylor.
