Biography
Kath was born in Berck, Pas-de-Calais, France, where she also died, at age 92 in 2012, from undisclosed causes. Until shortly before then, she was living in London, near Fulham Road.
She appeared in many international films and television programmes during her acting career.[1] She met British filmmaker Jack Clayton in 1952, during the making of Moulin Rouge, in which she portrayed the can-can dancer La Goulue and on which Clayton was the assistant director.
Jack was gifted a watercolour of Katherine by Marcel Vertès, who won two academy awards for his work on the film. It was signed "A Jack Clayton tres amicalement".
The couple married in 1953, following Clayton's divorce from his first wife, Christine Norden, but the union was shortlived.[2]
