Kat grew up a native New Yorker. She discovered at an early age her love of performing, in part to help her dealing with changing schools, losing her father to divorce and being the odd one out growing up. She spent summers & most holidays with her grandparents on Long Island, and she remains to this day very close to her family. Before becoming an actress, Kennedy worked as a model & professional singer/dancer. However, acting is her first love. She moved to Salt Lake City in the early 90s and started a vocal & performance coaching school to help others learn the art of performing. She soon started receiving calls from casting agents in Utah for film & television work. She studied acting with Marcia Dangerfield, Micheala Nelligan & Catrine McGregor. Kennedy's credits include a bit part on Hollywood Detective: The Series with Tony Peck, the films Neon City with Michael Ironside , Ancient Secrets of the Bible (The Ten Commandments), Ancient Secrets of the Bible II (Samson & Delilah), The Man with Three Wives (The Norman Grayson Story.) She moved back to New York City in 1998. She will appear on the Warner Bros. romantic comedy/reality dating show, "elimidate", which airs sometime in early Spring of 2004 on CBS.
