|  Katharine Isabelle mini-bio: Katharine Isabelle's career began in 1988, in the movie Cousins (1989), starring Ted Danson and Isabella Rossellini. She continued to appear in many more movies and TV episodes before achieving success with Ginger Snaps (1999), and her appearance as Paige in the commercially unreleased Turning Paige (2000). 2002 included supporting roles in the remake of Carrie (TVM) as Tina Blake, and a minor role in Insomnia. In 2003, she played Gibb in the dire Freddy vs. Jason [1] which she condemned months before it was released. 2004 brought a small supporting role in The Life (TVM), followed by a lead role in The Last Casino (TVM), and in the indy Show Me. Also in 2004 were the Ginger Snaps sequels: Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (in which Katharine took a minor role) and Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning, neither of which were to enjoy the success of the initial movie.
2006 included Eight Days To Live (TVM) and Engaged To Kill (TVM). In 2007 she had two small guest appearances in Supernatural.
Katharine refuses to do nude scenes, and has had a body double for every instance where such a scene exists, including the bed and shower scenes in Freddy vs. Jason (2003), the rising from the bed scene in Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004), and the bed scene in Engaged to Kill (2006) (TV), to name but three. The same woman body-doubled the latter two.
She said that when she went to a pharmacy after a day of shooting Ginger Snaps (2000), the people thought she'd been beaten up since she was still covered in fake blood.
Was originally asked to audition to play "Lori" in Freddy vs. 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.
Sister of former child actor, and journalist Joshua Murray.
Daughter of Graeme Murray and Gail Murray.
Worked 3 times with her brother Josh: "Cold Front", "The Last Winter" and "Knight Moves".
In addition to the Ginger Snaps movie series, Katharine Isabelle and Emily Perkins have played sisters in Another Cinderella Story (2008), and have also made guest appearances in different episodes of "Supernatural" | |
