Kathryn Missed Out On Podium In French GP

Back at the beginning of January we reported that the French TV station RTL and the weekly Télé 2 semaines magazine were running various polls to determine the fans’ favourite actors, actresses and TV shows.

On Monday the results were posted and it was, sadly, not good news for Kathryn.

The foreign actress category that Kathryn featured in was won by Stana Katic from Castle. She took the prize by 4.5% from Jennifer Morrison of Once Upon A Time. Kathryn didn’t make the top 3. And we thought the French people really liked her.

Nathon Fillon, also of Castle, took first place in the equivalent male category, beating out competition from Hugh Laurie (House) and Simon Baker (The Mentalist). Clearly the French people do like Castle, and why not, it is a very good show.

However, Esprits Criminels, which we believe is Criminal Minds, just pipped Castle to the foreign TV show award by 0.5%. So close! As Richard Castle would probably say.

You can find all the results on the RTL website.

Kathryn A No Show At TCA Winter Press Tour 2013

hallmark_channel_black_190x85 We could have had our first public appearance of Kathryn for 2013 yesterday evening (Friday, 4th January 2013) but it wasn’t to be.

The annual Television Critics Association Winter Tour has been taking place this past week, and continues for at least one more. Each day one or more of the television networks announce upcoming shows and films. Key cast and production staff members take part in presentations and Q&As with members of the press.

On Friday it was the turn of the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel Winter 2013 TCA Gala. Bill Abbott (President & CEO, Hallmark Channels) and Michelle Vicary (Executive Vice President, Programming Crown Media Family Networks) spoke to those assembled about the TV shows and films that will feature across the various Hallmark channels in the first half of 2013.

Cedar Cove, starring Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings And A Funeral) and based on the series of books by Debbie Macomber, featured heavily. It is the networks first ever prime-time scripted drama. A host of film premières, including next weekend’s Nearlyweds were also announced. Many of the stars of the various productions attended the event.

But what of The Sweeter Side Of Life? I hear you ask. Here is what they said:

THE SWEETER SIDE OF LIFE premières Jan 19 and stars Kathryn Morris as a Manhattan socialite who suddenly finds herself single and returning home to work in her father’s small town bakery. Kathryn Morris sends apologies that she could not make it this evening. But James Best who plays Kathryn’s father is here with us this evening as well as Executive Producers and writers Janeen Damian and Michael Damian who also directed the movie.

Grand Prix For The Petite Dame?

Our friends to south of the English Channel (they probably have a different name for it) are holding an annual competition about the TV shows and actors they like. They get a chance to vote for Kathryn.

The French TV station RTL and the weekly Télé 2 semaines magazine are running various polls to determine the fans’ favourite actors, actresses and TV shows. There are actually categories of each type to native French and foreign entries separately.

Kathryn gets a look-in as a foreign actress for her lead role Cold Case. Obviously Cold Case is not made any more but these polls are based around broadcasts in France during 2012. Season 7 of CC was shown on the France 2 network during that time. Cold Case itself does not appear in the list of foreign shows.

You can find Kathryn’s name in the list on this page. Tick the box, type in the word at the bottom of the page, and click “Voter”. Simples.

Based on past experience the French people appear to very much appreciate Kathryn, but every vote counts so please vote for her. The polls close on the 11th of January 2012 at 5pm French time (4pm GMT) with the results to be declared on the 21st.

Paige Fortin Auction – Two Days To Go

I hope you’ve got your… errr… I have no idea what people wear or use at auctions.

Online bidding for the auction in aid of Paige Fortin comes to a close on Friday (5pm UK time, 30th November 2012). There are multiple items of Cold Case memorabilia in the auction donated by Kathryn herself.

Rather than repeat ourselves further, look at last week’s post about his auction for more details on the reasons behind the fund raising and the items on offer.

The auction is online at the Charity Auction Organizer website.

Happy… errr… what ever is appropriate for auctions. Gavelling?

Kathryn CC Items In Paige Fortin Auction – Update

Here we have a chance to own a bit of genuine Cold Case memorabilia signed by a certain Ms Kathryn Morris and help a good cause.

Just two months ago a young woman called Paige Fortin, from Amesbury, Massachusetts, was in a serious road accident which resulted in her losing much of her right leg. The community has rallied around to help Paige and her family but they still are faced with long term costs.

Amesbury-based artist Jon Mooers is putting his new gallery to use by running a charity art auction at the end of November (2012) to raise money. As well as works supplied by local artists Jon has used his Hollywood connections to get a few extras. For example there is a piece of concept art for the web series Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome by illustrator Peter Mitchell Rubin (Independence Day). But there are also multiple reasons for KM UK’s interest in this event.

Kathryn has donated eight “lots” of Cold Case memorabilia. Two crew caps, three sets of directors chairs & publicity photos, her own personal crew jacket, and a couple of embroidered patches . All signed by the actress herself. The jacket includes an inscription related to the cause.

You can find more details on the Art Of Paige website. The auction is online at the Charity Auction Organizer website where you can see the available lots (you may need to look at page 2) and there is a Let’s Help Paige Facebook page.

Images of the CC-related items in the auction are in the Gallery.

Update (10 Dec 2012): A larger photo of the back of the jacket has been added. Also there are 5 more images of items up for auction, including a Moneyball crew cap modelled by Johnny Messner. All are in the Gallery.
