Kathryn grew up on a farm in Robbinsdale, Minnesota. Upon graduation from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Kathryn landed the ingénue lead in the classic Gothic daytime drama Dark Shadows (ABC, 1966-1971), and starred in the 1971 MGM feature, House of Dark Shadows. Kathryn played four roles in the series: Maggie Evans, Josette du Pres, Lady Kitty Hampshire and Rachel Drummond. Realizing that the enduring and innovative series still has a tremendous following in syndicated reruns throughout the world, Kathryn wrote Dark Shadows Memories to coincide with its 20th anniversary and Dark Shadows Companion as a 25th anniversary tribute. Both were book club favorites, and combined sales (Hardcover, Trade, audio CD) exceed 65,000 copies. Kathryn appears in a cameo role in Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows, starring Johnny Depp. Her latest nonfiction title is Dark Shadows: Return to Collinwood, currently in its third printing and available as an ebook.

While continuing her acting career, Kathryn launched Pomegranate Press, Ltd. to publish books about the entertainment industry. Along with such non-fiction fare as guide books, biographies, textbooks, humor and coffee table art books, Kathryn published Coya Come Home, the biography of former Minnesota Congresswoman Coya Knutson, which was optioned for a TV movie, Charlie’s Angels Casebook, made into an NBC MOW in 2004, and Hollywood at Your Feet: The Story of Hollywood’s Chinese Theatre, which she co-produced as an American Movie Classics documentary.

Kathryn wrote The Bunny Years (the 25-year history of Playboy Clubs told through the women who worked as Bunnies), optioned by Disney for a feature film. She also co-produced a two-hour special for the A&E Network, and a one-hour documentary for BBC-1 and Canadian TV, based on the book. Pomegranate has published over 50 nonfiction titles, including Scott’s books, Lobby Cards: The Classic Films (which earned the Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Coffee Table Book) and Lobby Cards: The Classic Comedies, both of which were published in the U.K. by Bloomsbury. Other Pomegranate titles include Michael Landon: Life, Love & Laughter, Word of Mouth, The Fugitive Recaptured, Rockford Files, The Night Stalker and Maverick.

Kathryn’s theatrical credits include a lengthy run with James Stewart in Harvey in London’s West End. TV audiences have seen her in the four-hour mini-series Voice of the Heart, based on the Barbara Taylor Bradford novel, as Dan Travanti’s wife in Murrow, George C. Scott’s mistress in The Last Days of Patton and Philip Marlowe’s girlfriend in Chandlertown. She co-starred in several pilot episodes, among them Police Squad, Paradise and Big Shamus, Little Shamus with Brian Dennehy, and The Professionals with Edward Woodward. Feature films include Providence, The Great Gatsby, Brannigan, The Greek Tycoon, Assassination, 187 and Parasomnia.

Kathryn maintains homes in Los Angeles and New York. She was married to the late Geoff Miller, founding editor and later publisher of Los Angeles magazine, the first city magazine in the country. In addition to her debut fiction, Dark Passages (2011), Kathryn has completed two other novels and will issue a Tradepaper edition of Coya Come Home, with a Foreword by Walter F. Mondale, in August 2012, with all proceeds from the sale of this book going to the Oslo Center for Peace and Humanity – US Foundation.
