Why is she featured?
A better question would be, why did it take me so long to write about her? One part is because I don’t think anything I write would do her justice, the other part is of course laziness. I think you should be more worried I knew most of the stuff below without looking them up.
Is she a lesbian?
Good question. It’s one that I’m sure alot of enquiring minds would like to know. She appears to be with her boyfriend Scott at the moment, so most likely no.
What’s her story?
If you’re just going by her filmography, it’s really nothing to be excited about. Katee started off doing Lifetime TV movie, Fifteen and Pregnant, then a relatively unknown TV series, The Education of Max Bickford and later moved on to do crappy movies such as Halloween: Resurrection, White Noise 2, and The Last Sentinel (Awful, bloody film from what I’ve heard). So what’s with all the fascination and admiration? All because of one torture soul in the critically acclaimed Battlestar Galactica – Kara “Starbuck” Thrace.
To be honest, I didn’t really like her when I first saw the BSG mini-series, she was too much of a man for me (in later interviews she did admit to base the character on her brother), and at first glance she wasn’t very attractive. However, four episodes and a mesmerizing lip quivering near tears scene later, I was in love. I guess I should thank her injured knee that she decided to quit her Olympic swimming dream and got into acting. After 4 impressive years in BSG, most had hoped David Eick’s (one of BSG’s producers) new show Bionic Woman would be a new home to showcast Sackhoff’s performance. And it did, a little too well I would say. BW’s story was a frakking joke and combined with a weak lead actress, Michelle Ryan, it never stood a chance. If the network ever wish to revive the show though, they should just give the lead to Katee, who all the critics agree was the better Bionic Woman.
Besides her obvious acting chops, Katee’s down to earth personality is what really makes her rise above all other celebrities. Her impulsiveness, potty-mouth, road rage, Harley Davidson motocycle, wine addiction (I kid) just makes you want to fear befriend her. She also has two cute dogs named Meatball and Nelly B (named after Katee’s character in Max Bickford).
What’s her current project?
Still waiting for Lost & Found to be picked up, but currently filming season 8 of 24 as an analyst (boooring! She better be shooting guns and doing field work like Chloe).
— Random Quotes —
Pretty much anything that Katee says in an interview is comedy gold, especially with Cort & Fatboy. I think you should just listen to them all.
On her upbringing: “People are shocked to learn that I grew up in a small town, and I love to be in the dirt. And I love to camp, and I love to fish. I love to gut my own fish”
On her sex scene: “[Jamie Bamber's] wife actually told him not to do his O face, you know, like the oh oh OH face. And I was like, oh my god, what does my O face look like? So I actually practiced in the mirror. What does my O face look like, you never actually see it. It was interesting.”
