15th Annual Ante Up For Autism

Unlike our regular ’15 years on’ Cold Case posts for this update we only have to go back one month to the 25th September 2021.

As part of Kathryn’s advocacy and support of autism charities, she and her boys attended the 15th Annual Ante Up For Autism event. The gambling-themed fund raising evening, hence the ‘Ante Up’ name, was organised by TACA and the Warne Foundation.

A small number of very large sized photos of the family on the red carpet have been added to the Gallery. courtesy of the event and Kathryn itself.

Advertising Week New York 2021

This is turning into a busy week… for Kathryn.

After her appearance on breakfast/daytime television and the posting of an article she’d written about her experiences as a mother to twin boys with autism, Kathryn turned up at Advertising Week in New York.

On Wednesday (20th Oct) at The Creative Showcase Stage, Kathryn sat down with Tom Ajello, senior partner at the Lippencott creative consultancy. They discussed the founding of her The Savants initiative and the journey she has gone through since the diagnosis of her children.

I must admit to being a little puzzled by this one. Not sure how this fits together. Maybe Advertising Week is about more than just those 4 minute-long interruptions in our favourite TV shows and distracting images on websites.

If it helps get Kathryn’s message out and that in turn helps others then it can only be a good thing.

Hopefully we can bring you more on the event in the not too distant future.

Savants – Kathryn’s Autism Initiative

After such a long period of silence today has suddenly got quite noisy.

However, we need to make sure that that noise is appropriate for all those around us though.

Today (20th Oct 2021) Kathryn launched her own initiative called The Savants aimed at helping parents of children with autism.

Kathryn’s twin boys, Rocco and Jameson, both have autism. When Kathryn discovered her children were autistic she found herself initially lost as to what to do. People did reach out with advice and information which helped, but you always can also use more. Wanting to raise awareness and make sure that all parents have the help and the resources they need, Kathryn has set up the website The Savants.

Kathryn appeared on the Today morning TV show in the US to discuss her project. She has also written an article explaining further which you can on the shows website HERE. The page also has a video of the interview.

One of the sources of help Kathryn mentions is The Autism Community In Action (TACA) group. Their website is HERE.

Hayseed

New news! Actual new news!

It has been reported by the website Deadline that Kathryn has joined the cast of a indie movie called Hayseed.

Kathryn’s appearance on the IMDb page for the project confirms this.

The film is described thus:

“A retired police officer-turned-private investigator is tasked with discovering the truth behind the beloved reverend is found death that was quickly ruled an accident by local authorities.”

Kathryn is listed as playing Joyce Metts, who according to Justin Kroll’s report is the mother of a daughter about to leave for college. She is a waitress and former beauty queen.

I know that many actors work as restaurant wait staff between jobs and we’ve seen Kathryn play a waitress in Murder She Wrote. I’d take exception with ‘former’. How dare they!

Hayseed is listed as being in pre-production, but I understand that production is due to start this month, having previously been set for Spring 2021, and may have already begun. We know that Hollywood is a strange beast when it comes to timings and the current world-wide situation can’t have helped.

The film is the work of writer/director Travis Burgess. This will be Travis’ first feature, having mostly done short films previously. The script has already won accolades at various film festivals over the past couple of years. The film’s very modest budget was raised via crowd funding and investors.

Bill Sage (Orange Is The New Black) stars as the police officer/PI. Amy Hargreaves (Homeland) and Caitlin Carver (Dear White People) are amongst the cast. The daughter is played by Marta Piekarz.

As I hope you would expect of KM UK, we will be paying very close attention to Hayseed and bringing you as much information about it as possible.

Cold Case S04E04 – Baby Blues Photo Update

Didn’t manage to furnish you with any updates last week but we are going to more than make up for it looking at ‘Baby Blues’.

This episode of Cold Case (number 4 of season 4) first the light of day on the 15 of October 2006, an always surprising 15 years ago today.

You won’t be at all shocked to guess that the image above is not a scene from the show. It is an on set photo of Kathryn having a bit of fun with the crew. The other 7 pictures are promo photos/stills. Kat Miller (Tracie Thoms) features in most of them as she joined Lilly in a suspect interview. All are large sized and high quality.

The 8 new photos from ‘Baby Blues’ are now in the KM UK Gallery.
