Birthday Fan Art – Updated x2

Happy Kathryn Day Eve (thanks Gina 😉 )

Ahead of tomorrow’s celebrations we have some appropriately themed fan art for you from some of our artistic readers.

Thanks to regular fan art contributors to KM UK IcyWinter and Kareen_T for the banners and wallpapers. Check them all out in the Fan Art section of the Gallery.

Don’t forget to come back tomorrow for the big day.

If you create Kathryn-related fan art (wallpapers, banners, avatars, buttons or other drawings) and would like to showcase it here on KM UK please contact me.

Update: additional images from IcyWinter and smallbarbie. Thank you both.

Update 2: Kareen_T has passed along images for her planned KM Birthday video project from other Kathryn fans. Thanks to Harllen Jales, Letícia Medeiros dos Santos, Pamella Pereira, Rebeca Felix, Renata Pinheiro and Sérgio Cabral for their efforts. You can find their images in the Fan Art Drawings section of the Gallery.

L.A. Firefighters

L.A. Firefighters was a short-lived TV series from 1996. The show followed the lives of, believe it or not, a company of firefighters in the Los Angeles Fire Department. The presence of female fire officers in such a male dominated environment being a key issue they dealt with.

Only the first season’s six episodes ever aired. The real L.A. Firefighters Union were none too pleased at the they way were portrayed and disassociated themselves from the show. A reworking for the second season, including a name change to Fire Co. 132, came to nought and it was never broadcast. The first season has rarely, if ever, been repeated.

Kathryn was in three episodes from that first season playing a woman called Helen Regan. Helen was the wife of one of the crew killed in the line of duty at the end of the pilot episode. In the trio episodes Helen attends the funeral of her husband and spends time with another fireman, Jack, who has decided to look after his departed colleague’s widow and children. She then announces she is leaving for Seattle to live near her brother.

A very small collection of small screencaps has been in the Gallery for some time but I have now added a few more and organised them by episode. Sadly the additions are even smaller and of lower quality than the existing ones, but many thanks to our friends at The Elizabeth Mitchell Fan Club for kindly donating them. Elizabeth, best known now for her role in Lost, starred as the wife of a fireman in L.A. Firefighters.

Jack Goes Boating, Sept 2010 – Return Journey

Today we have another quick update to photos from last year.

All 9 of the smaller images from Kathryn’s appearance at the previously posted Jack Goes Boating premiere of last September have been upgraded to larger sizes. Plus, there is one new photo, albeit of rather poor quality.

Not So Golden Globes – Maybe Next Year

To quote J. R. R. Tolkien, himself misquoting Shakespeare, “All that is gold does not glitter.”

Sadly, Kathryn was not the glister amongst the many stars of screens both small and silver at the Golden Globe Awards last night. Has Kathryn ever attended the event beyond those slightly tacky gift lounge things?

However, things could be very different next year. Moneyball will be out by then.

The Social Network has garnered a lot of awards and award nominations and Kathryn’s representative/assistant (I dunno) said himself that Moneyball is due out in “The Social Network slot.”

As 2010 ended, 2011 started with various movie websites publishing their “ones to watch in the coming year” lists. Moneyball featured strongly in many of them. The presence of a certain William Bradley Pitt will inevitably lead to a global awareness of the film that it might otherwise struggle to achieve. Despite being so far off the baseball movie is even being mentioned for awards success, or at least nominations. The September release is seen as a key part of that.

Could Kathryn be in line for a nomination or two this time next year? Who knows, at this stage we know so little about the nature of her role beyond playing Billy Beane’s (Brad Pitt) second wife it would be pure speculation. Either way the release of the film will raise her international profile, which can only lead to more job offers. I’m sure that everyone at KM UK wishes her well with this new phase of her career.

I’ve posted links to a few of those “ones to watch” lists after the jump.

Heroes Picnic, June 2010 – Back For Seconds – Update

A quick update to end the week.

I’ve added 4 more photos to the Gallery from the A Time For Hereos Celebrity Picnic that we covered back in June of last year. They are only medium sized but obviously the content goes along way towards making up for that
