Trivia Fact #1: Before she began acting, Katherine was a model for the Wilhelmina Agency.
Trivia Fact #2: Dated her co-star, Jason Behr while filming the TV series, "Roswell." Jason played her brother, Max Evans on the show.
Trivia Fact #3: In order to save the show, "Roswell," fans sent more than 100,000 bottles of Tabasco Sauce to the WB network offices.
Quoted as Saying: "One of the most interesting things about that show ["Roswell"] for me was that because Isabel was an alien, I got to do many things, so that was creatively satisfying. I think anyone's fear of getting involved in a show that could run for several years is that you'll be playing only one character for that long; that can get stale for an actor, so on "Roswell," I really lucked out."
