Cold Case Cast Catch-up – Feb 2012

promo_002A quick round-up of what is going on in the careers of the non-Kathryn members of the Cold Case cast.

First up, Danny.  As we all know he’s on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.  It seems to be going well for him and fellow newcomer Kelli Giddish.  Joining a long established show, effectively replacing a much loved character and actor cannot have been easy.  I’m sure that some die-hard fans will not accept such a change but from what I’ve read the audience figures are strong and many do seem to like the contribution Danny and Kelli have made so far.  There is no news on other work by Danny to report on at this time.

Who’s next?

Kathryn @ Toyota Pro/Celeb Race – April 2007

toyota_race_day_16We return to our multi-stranded theme of updates covering Kathryn’s public appearances in 2007.

This time the chosen event only takes in just one of the subjects that seemed to dominate the year: motorsport.

Each April the Grand Prix Of Long Beach, a weekend of motorsport headlined by the IndyCar Series, has a special Toyota Pro/Celebrity race in aid of charities supporting local children’s hospitals.  Amazingly this has been going since the 70s.  As the name suggests the household names from TV and film compete against established racers from a variety of disciplines of motorsport.  The cars they use are near-standard Toyota road cars.  The celebs are given toyota_race_day_17training prior to being let loose around the California street circuit on race day.

In 2007 Kathryn was invited to take part in the race along with, amongst others, tennis superstar Martina Navratilova, Emily Proctor (CSI: Miami), Kelly Hu (Martial Law), Aisha Tyler (Friends), Robin Quivers (Howard Stern), George Lucas (Star Wars) and Kendra Wilkinson (Girls Next Door).  As you can see there were a significant number of women in the field that year.  At the end of the 8 lap race Kathryn finished in 13th (of 17) which is the same position she started in, which shows sensible consistency.

The race formed part of an episode of the freak show that was “Girls Next Door” featuring Kendra Wilkinson, which we dealt with over 2 years ago here on KM UK.

For this update we have added 19 photos to the Gallery of various sizes and quality.  The NAPA 200 event update a few weeks ago was headlined by a special photo by Eric Gilbert.  This time we are grateful Eric again, this time for allowing us to use two great photos by Earl Ma, also of Motorsport.com.  You can see the pair of images showcased above.  Sadly, Earl passed away a few weeks after the 2007 event.

Revival House Trademark Published

revival_house_official_gazette_430x195

There it is (edited slightly for the sake of saving space).  Buried on page 1078 of a 1658 page long PDF document.  Boy that was a dull 1077 pages!  What?  ‘Search’ you say?  Curious… :-)

That is the entry for Revival House, Kathryn’s new production company, as it appears in the USPTO Official Gazette, the fortnightly publication detailing new trademarks up for opposition.

Now there is a 30 day wait (from the 14th of Feb 2012 date of the document’s release) for people to register their opposition.

If my understanding is correct (and I’ve proven before it could easily not be) a further 8 weeks beyond that date a registration certificate will be issued.  Then the mark has to be used within 6 months and a statement to that effect filed with the USPTO.

To liven up this not-so-exciting process here is a countdown timer to the end of that 30 day period.  I’ve chosen 9am LA time (PST) on the day in question (15th March 2012) as the zero hour.

Katie’s Video Contest

Creator of the KM UK promo video Katie is running a little contest to come up with ideas for future videos.  In return for a suggestion you might get a cookie, and who doesn’t like cookies? 😀

If you make it Kathryn-themed we could post it in the KM UK Fan Art Gallery!

So you know how to contact Katie she’s made a video with details and put it on her KathrynMorrisFTW YouTube channel.

Murder She Wrote: A Box Set To Die For

screenshot_001Before Kathryn became Lilly, she got a taste of what it was like to be the other side of the interrogation room table.  The wily blonde still got her man but in this instance the blonde wasn’t Det. Rush, it was Jessica Fletcher, as played by Angela Lansbury in the long running TV show and four TV movies of Murder, She Wrote.

Released on Tuesday (14th Feb 2012) that quartet of movies is now available as a DVD box set in America.  You can find it on the US Amazon store HERE.

Four years after a small role in one of the last ever episodes of the Murder, She Wrote TV series Kathryn starred in the second of the TV movies.  A Story To Die For (the subtitle of the movie we are interested in) sees angel of death Jessica Fletcher (what? people are always dying when she’s around!) at a writers conference when, predictably enough, a murder takes place (see, told you!).  Kathryn is Patricia Williams, an aspiring writer herself, who is at the conference to act as an assistant to Warren Pierce (an old friend of Jessica’s and also a writer).  Eye-witnesses cause Patricia to come under suspicion and see her questioned by the police.

Screencaps of Kathryn in A Story To Die For have been in the KM UK Gallery for a long time and can be found HERE.
