'''KaDee Strickland''' (born '''Katherine Dee Strickland''' on [[December 14]] [[1977]]) is an [[American]] actress. After displaying interest in child acting at a young age, Strickland commenced her basic studies while working in minor roles in motion pictures by filmmakers such as [[M. Night Shyamalan]] and [[James Mangold]]. She gradually gained prominence and critical acclaim from 2003 onwards after significant parts in several successful mainstream horror films, among them ''[[The Grudge]]'' (2004) and ''[[Fever Pitch (2005 film)|Fever Pitch]]'' (2005). Media sources in 2004 such as Todd Gilchrist, Mike Altamura, Matt Soergel and Clint Morris acknowledged Strickland as one of Hollywood's rising stars, while [[Ray Colbert]] considered her a "major player in the industry". On her career, Strickland herself commented: "it's been a scream. It really has. Everyone has been so focused and scary and it's just exciting... I'm gonna be whole hog with it and hopefully do it until I'm in the grave." Strickland is a self-described "[[method acting|method actor]]", and has cited [[Jessica Lange]], [[Holly Hunter]], [[Donald Trump]], [[Diane Keaton]] and [[Jane Fonda]] as her influences.

'''Katherine Dee Strickland''' (born<!-- IMDb is not a reliable source. Please do not change this date without providing a reliable source. Thank you. --> December 14, 1975) is an American actress. From 2007 to 2013, she played Dr. [[Charlotte King]] on the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] drama ''[[Private Practice (TV series)|Private Practice]]''.

==Early life and education==

Strickland was born in [[Blackshear, Georgia|Blackshear]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], and is the third and youngest child of Susan Strickland, a [[nurse]] and nursing instructor, and Dee Strickland, a former high school [[American football|football]] coach and [[superintendent]]. She was raised in [[Patterson, Georgia]] and had a job picking [[tobacco]] on a local farm for eight years. She took part in many extracurricular activities during high school, including the student council (of which she was elected president) and the [[cheerleading]] squad, and was also crowned [[Homecoming Queen]] three times through elementary, middle and high school. When she was a young child, Strickland had once watched the film ''[[Annie Hall]]'', and recalled "wanting to be in that place, and being completely taken with the energy of those people. I wanted to be in it." However, a career in the [[performing arts]] had never been seriously considered by Strickland until her participation in a one-act play performed by students of her high school: "... the minute I set foot on stage, that was it. Destiny took over. There were no other options. I felt like I fit my skin, I knew what I was here to do", Strickland said.

Strickland began acting during high school. She studied acting in Philadelphia and New York City, where she obtained mostly small roles in film, television, and stage projects, among them ''[[The Sixth Sense]]'' (1999). Her participation in the 2003 Hollywood films ''[[Anything Else]]'' and ''[[Something's Gotta Give (film)|Something's Gotta Give]]'' led to her receiving significant parts in the 2004 horror films ''[[Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid]]'' and ''[[The Grudge]]''. She was then referred to as "the pride of [[Patterson, Georgia|Patterson]]"<ref name="Soergel"/> and the horror genre's "newest [[scream queen]]",<ref name=HorrorAsylum/> though her performances in both films received mixed critical reviews. In 2005, she garnered positive critical reviews for the romantic comedy ''[[Fever Pitch (2005 film)|Fever Pitch]]'', and she was a regular on the television show ''[[The Wedding Bells]]'' in 2007. She was subsequently added to the cast of ''[[Private Practice (TV series)|Private Practice]]''.

After graduating from high school, Strickland successfully applied to the [[University of the Arts (Philadelphia)|University of the Arts]] in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]], and during her studies there, she took a part-time job as a waitress at a local restaurant. She also [[intern]]ed at a [[casting (performing arts)|casting]] agency, and one of the tasks she was given was to read the lines at auditions for people looking for small roles in film and television projects in the area (a job that would land Strickland her first film role). After graduating with a Fine Arts degree from the University of the Arts, she was schooled in [[New York City]] for a time under the tutelage of Maggie Flanagan (to whom Strickland refers as her "[[Jedi|Jedi Knight]]"), who would instruct her students to watch films with the sound turned off, to gauge a good acting performance by how much one could understand the story. In late 2003, Strickland moved to [[Los Angeles, California]], where she currently resides [[as of 2005]].

Strickland has spoken against the emphasis placed on beauty in the Los Angeles acting community, in which she says her [[Southern U.S.]] background has helped to distinguish herself from other blonde actresses.<ref name="Soergel"/><ref name=LatinoReview/> She has spoken of an affinity for her strong female characters<ref name="Soergel"/><ref name=HorrorAsylum/><ref name=LatinoReview/><ref name="Horrordotcom"/> and a desire to avoid sexualizing or sensationalizing her self-presentation as a woman.<ref name=EZ-Entertainment/> She has also worked closely with [[RAINN]] after participating in a storyline in which her ''Private Practice'' character was raped.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Private Practice Partners with RAINN As ABC Makes TV History {{!}} RAINN |url=https://www.rainn.org/news/private-practice-partners-rainn-abc-makes-tv-history |access-date=2023-01-13 |website=www.rainn.org}}</ref>

==Career==

===Early work===

While staying in Philadelphia, Strickland was given various opportunities to take part in a number of other films in production in and around the city, including [[Rel Dowdell]]'s ''[[Train Ride]]'', a date rape thriller that was filmed in 1998, but was not commercially released until 2005 due to financing problems. Another of these was the crime drama ''[[Diamond Men]]'' with [[Robert Forster]] and [[Donnie Wahlberg]], which opened to sparkling reviews; [[Richard Roeper]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' declared it to be "a fantastic film, with a good cast".{{ref|RoeperDiamondMen}} Some time after moving to New York City, Strickland was cast in [[Adam Bhala Lough]]'s filmmaking debut ''[[Bomb the System]]'', about a group of graffiti artists who choose to leave their mark on the city. ''[[Film Threat]]'' magazine's Eric Campos wrote, "You still can’t deny the glaring talent of Adam Bhala Lough’s cast and crew,"{{ref|CamposBombTheSystem}} but the majority of critics were less enthused with the film, and it was not shown outside of film festivals until 2005.

Strickland's career began in 1999 with a brief appearance at a funeral after-party in ''[[The Sixth Sense]]'', a two-line part that she received after impressing writer-director [[M. Night Shyamalan]] when reading lines for those auditioning for the film. According to Strickland, her role in the film helped her learn to temper her fake crying.<ref name=PhiladelphiaDailyNews/> The same year, she served as an extra in the independent film ''[[The Sterling Chase]]'', and appeared in a small role opposite [[Winona Ryder]] and [[Angelina Jolie]] in [[James Mangold]]'s drama ''[[Girl, Interrupted (film)|Girl, Interrupted]]''.

Strickland's career began with a brief appearance as a ghost in ''[[The Sixth Sense]]'' in 1999, a two-line part that she had received after impressing writer and director M. Night Shyamalan whilst reading lines for those auditioning for the film. The supernatural thriller, which starred [[Bruce Willis]], was well received by critics and audiences alike. Of Shyamalan, Strickland said, "He is a lovely man, and one of the most focused I've been around... I still can't get over how tightly he ran his ship." That same year, she served as an extra in the unreleased independent film ''[[The Sterling Chase]]'', and won a slightly larger part in James Mangold's ''[[Girl, Interrupted]]'', an award-winning drama with [[Winona Ryder]], [[Angelina Jolie]] and [[Brittany Murphy]] as patients in the psychiatric ward of a hospital in the 1960s.

Strickland appeared in two romantic comedy films in 2003. ''[[Anything Else]]'', written and directed by [[Woody Allen]], featured her as the girlfriend of [[Jason Biggs]]'s character (whom he snubs for [[Christina Ricci]]'s Amanda Chase); she said it was a "dream come true" to work with Allen, of whom she is an "obsessive diehard" fan.<ref name=EZ-Entertainment/> The film was greeted with lukewarm reviews and dismal ticket sales,<ref>Pandya, Gitesh.

Strickland's first lead role came when producer [[Doug Belgrad]] saw the [[dailies]] of her scene in ''Something's Gotta Give''. He cast her opposite [[Johnny Messner (actor)|Johnny Messner]] and [[Morris Chestnut]] in the jungle-set horror film ''[[Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid]]'', the sequel to ''[[Anaconda (1997 film)|Anaconda]]'' (1997).<ref name=HorrorAsylum/> Strickland played an accomplished research scientist who travels to [[Borneo]] as part of an expedition team searching for a species of plant rumored to have life-extending properties. She said she initially did not want to follow a Woody Allen film with a "''snake'' movie", but that she changed her mind because the hero was a female [[Culture of the Southern United States#People|Southerner]] who was not "a complete idiot" or "a chick in shorts about to get whacked".<ref name="Soergel" /> Though its box office revenue tripled its production budget, ''Anacondas'' did not perform as well as its predecessor, and most reviews panned the project.<ref>[https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=anacondas.htm "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161107073310/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=anacondas.htm |date=November 7, 2016 }}.

Strickland appeared in two [[romantic comedy film]]s in 2003. ''[[Anything Else]]'' was written and directed by [[Woody Allen]] (''Annie Hall''), and featured Strickland in her largest role yet in a Hollywood production as the girlfriend of [[Jason Biggs]] (whom he snubs for [[Christina Ricci]]), but the film was greeted with dismal ticket sales and lukewarm reviews (though Strickland in 2005 referred to the film as her "big break"). The later release ''[[Something's Gotta Give (film)|Something's Gotta Give]]'' (starring [[Jack Nicholson]] and [[Diane Keaton]]) was far more successful at the box office and with critics, although Strickland's part in the film was restricted to a single scene in which she played the partner of Dave ([[Paul Michael Glaser]]), whose young age raises eyebrows with Dave's ex-wife (Keaton) and daughter ([[Amanda Peet]]).

Strickland's next project, ''[[The Grudge]]'', was another horror film. In Japanese director [[Takashi Shimizu]]'s U.S. remake of his film ''[[Ju-on: The Grudge]]'' (2003), Strickland played (in a role originated by [[Misaki Ito]]) a [[Tokyo]]-based American businesswoman whose relatives emigrate from the U.S. Strickland received the role through a casting session with producer [[Sam Raimi]], who picked her based on her work in footage for the then-unreleased ''Anacondas'', and her willingness to work away from home for extended periods. She said that Japan and [[Japanese cinema]] had always fascinated her, and that she wanted to be "a part of that world" in which filmmakers communicate the story via action rather than dialogue; she also highlighted the importance of being "able to explore being in the wrong place at the wrong time without being a [[Sexual objectification|sex object]]/[[damsel in distress]]."<ref name="Horrordotcom"/> ''The Grudge'' was a number-one U.S. box office hit and quickly became one of the year's most profitable films,<ref>Gray, Brandon.

In early 2004, the independent film ''[[Knots (film)|Knots]]'' premiered at the [[Gen Art Film Festival]], with Strickland featured in a small part during a party scene, but then went straight to cable, bypassing a theatrical release. Soon after, Strickland had an equally minor role in the satirical comedy ''[[The Stepford Wives (2004 film)|The Stepford Wives]]'' with [[Nicole Kidman]]. Strickland could be caught briefly in one of the first scenes of the film, as a contestant in one of the new game shows that Joanna Eberhart (Kidman) is producing. The film was disliked by critics and became a huge commercial dud.

In late 2004, Strickland embarked on what she called "the craziest job I've ever had":<ref name="JLange" /> a role in the [[Farrelly brothers]] film ''[[Fever Pitch (2005 film)|Fever Pitch]]'', a baseball-themed romantic comedy starring [[Drew Barrymore]] and [[Jimmy Fallon]] (Strickland's ''Anything Else'' co-star) and based on the [[Nick Hornby]] book.

===Major roles===

Strickland's first lead role came when producer [[Doug Belgrad]] saw the [[dailies]] of her scene from ''Something's Gotta Give'', and impressed by her work, cast the actress opposite [[Johnny Messner]] and [[Morris Chestnut]] in the jungle-set horror film ''[[Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid]]'', the sequel to ''[[Anaconda (film)|Anaconda]]'' (1997). Strickland played an accomplished research scientist who travels to Borneo as part of an expedition team searching for a species of plant that is rumoured to have life-extending properties. ''Anacondas''<nowiki>'</nowiki> worldwide ticket sales amounted to just over half of those of the original ''Anaconda'', but the film was still a financial success. Strickland received kudos for her acting performance, though reviews mostly panned the production otherwise; Bruno Soto commented of Strickland and her co-star [[Salli Richardson]] that "both did what was asked of them and more. They deserve more than this B level affair".{{ref|SotoAnacondas}} Julian Roman, in a slightly more positive summary of the film, said Strickland "certainly has the charisma to be a movie star".{{ref|RomanAnacondas}}

===Work in television ===

Prior to the release of ''Anacondas'', Strickland had demonstrated her advocacy of the arts, when she hosted the art debut of fellow actress [[Heidi Jayne Netzley]]. In an evening event that was held at the [[Edgemar Center for the Arts]] in Santa Monica, California, Netzley's series of soon-to-be-sold paintings (collectively titled ''Face Value'') were on display to many art aficionados. Stella Monroe of ''Power Magazine'' declared the evening to be "engaging", and "a complete success".{{ref|NetzleyArt}}

[[Image:KaDee Strickland in The Grudge.jpg|left|thumb||250px|[[Jane Fonda]]'s performance in ''[[Klute]]'' (1971) provided the inspiration for Strickland's role in ''The Grudge'': "Fonda had this brilliant way in that film of creating tension and fear for the audience just by walking down a hallway and looking over her shoulder."]]<!-- FAIR USE of KaDee Strickland in The Grudge.jpg: see image description page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:KaDee_Strickland_in_The_Grudge.jpg for rationale -->

Strickland's next project was another horror picture, ''[[The Grudge]]'', director [[Takashi Shimizu]]'s remake of his own Japanese blockbuster ''[[Ju-on: The Grudge]]'' (2003). The film was largely an ensemble piece (centred around an exchange student and care worker played by [[Sarah Michelle Gellar]]), and had Strickland play (in a role originated by [[Misaki Ito]]) an American businesswoman in Tokyo, Japan, whose brother ([[William Mapother]]), sister-in-law ([[Clea DuVall]]) and mother ([[Grace Zabriskie]]) come over from the United States to live in the city. Strickland clinched the role through a casting session with producer [[Sam Raimi]], who picked her based on her work in footage for the then-unreleased ''Anacondas'', and her nonchalance when working away from home for extended periods of time. ''The Grudge'' was an instant box office hit and quickly became one of the most profitable films of the year, and Strickland attracted more positive comments from film critics; Douglas Evasick said the cast "holds its own" in the film, describing Strickland as "sympathetic and relatable".{{ref|EvasickGrudge}} Her presence in ''The Grudge'' and ''Anacondas'' led Phil Davies Brown to proclaim her as the new "[[scream queen]]", though Strickland dismissed this label: "If a script is well done...That is all it is really about for me. Good characters, scripts, and directors don't come around that often. So when they do, I like to go for it. The right thing is always welcome."

In 2022, she was cast in a leading role in the second season of the American teen drama thriller anthology series [[Cruel Summer (TV series)|''Cruel Summer'']], set for summer of 2023. Strickland will reunite onscreen with her ''Private Practice'' costars [[Griffin Gluck]] and [[Paul Adelstein]], who played her son and husband, respectively.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rouse |first=Isaac |title='Cruel Summer' Reveals New Season 2 Cast: Sadie Stanley, Lexi Underwood & More (PHOTO) |url=https://www.tvinsider.com/1076754/cruel-summer-season-2-cast-photo/ |access-date=2023-01-13 |website=TV Insider |language=en-US}}</ref> In 2024, she was cast as Monica Pascal in a recurring role for the thirteen season of the American procedural drama series ''[[Chicago Fire (TV series)|Chicago Fire]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last= Gelman|first=Vlada|title=Chicago Fire Casts Private Practice Vet KaDee Strickland as New Chief’s Wife |url=https://tvline.com/casting-news/chicago-fire-season-13-kadee-strickland-cast-new-chief-wife-1235310735/|date=August 1, 2024|access-date=September 2, 2024|website=TVLine|language=en-US}}</ref>

In the fall of 2004, Strickland embarked on what she described as "the craziest job I’ve ever had": the role of Robin in the [[Farrelly brothers]] film ''[[Fever Pitch (2005 film)|Fever Pitch]]'', a baseball-themed romantic comedy with [[Drew Barrymore]] and [[Jimmy Fallon]], Strickland's co-star from ''Anything Else''. The film opened in 2005 and was met with a mixed critical response, but Strickland herself received praise for her abilities as comedic actress. Critic Jamie Kelwick said that Strickland and her co-stars, [[Ione Skye]] and [[Marissa Jaret Winokur]], gave "good performances"{{ref|KelwickFeverPitch}} as the best friends of Lindsey (Barrymore). Ron Henriques concurred, describing Strickland as "great support" to Barrymore,{{ref|HenriquesFeverPitch}} and Cynthia Fuchs said the actress was "irrepressible" in her role.{{ref|FuchsFeverPitch}} [[MSNBC]]'s John Hartl, giving the film a negative overview, said Strickland "sometimes rescue[s] [the picture] from its plodding moments".{{ref|HartlFeverPitch}} The film was not a hit at the box office, but it helped to further raise Strickland's industry profile. As part of the promotion for ''Fever Pitch'', she was interviewed on ''[[The Tony Danza Show]]'', and also threw the first [[pitch (baseball)|pitch]] at the opening season game of the [[Houston Astros]], a Major League Baseball team.

===Music video===

In early 2005, Strickland was cast in the pilot episode for the fact-based television series ''Laws of Chance'' for [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], based on the career of Kelly Siegler, a spirited assistant district attorney based in Houston, Texas. Strickland, whose co-stars in the pilot included [[Frances Fisher]] and [[Bruce McGill]], said that she was "really excited to have the opportunity to portray this phenomenal lady", but the series was dropped from development a few months later. Strickland's next film role is as laid-off stripminer [[Jason Patric]]'s love interest in ''[[Walker Payne]]'', an independently-financed drama set in the 1950s with [[Drea de Matteo]], [[Sam Shepard]] and [[Bruce Dern]], which completed filming in July 2005. In late 2005, Strickland joined the cast of ''[[The Flock (film)|The Flock]]'', a crime drama starring [[Richard Gere]], [[Claire Danes]] and singer [[Avril Lavigne]] about a federal agent who is assigned to track down a missing girl and a paroled sex offender.

In 1996, Strickland appeared briefly in the music video for [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]]'s "[[Don't Look Back In Anger]]".

Strickland cites her work ethic and her "active imagination" as sources of inspiration when she is required to convey certain emotions, particularly negative ones.<ref name=EZ-Entertainment/> She said she does not practise [[method acting]], but that actors can bring to a role elements that are, in her words, "an extension of [their] life experience". According to her, she hopes to have her experience of growing up in an emotionally warm environment incorporated into her work.<ref name="Soergel"/> Strickland has spoken of her difficulty conveying different "versions" of emotions such as fear to different members of a worldwide film-watching audience, saying "what really kept me going was trying to communicate something universal."<ref name=EZ-Entertainment/> She said she is extremely flattered when people, particularly her fans, genuinely relate to her when her "version of storytelling" and work as an actress communicates to them.<ref name=EZ-Entertainment/> She said she believed she was "here" to act, and that she could not live without it: "It's my joy, it's what I love, and there's no feeling like being able to do what you love in life, and really fully doing it", she said. Strickland called her life as an actress "a crazy existence" and "completely unstable" because of the frequency with which she has to look for new jobs, but she said she is "[[wikt:go the whole hog|gonna be whole hog]] with it" and continue to act until her death.<ref name=EZ-Entertainment/><ref>Busson, Scott.

Strickland is a self-described "big [[wikt:fashionista|fashionista]]" and "very concerned with looks", and has noted the need for "an element of vanity" in acting, particularly in Los Angeles, where she says she is "continually surrounded by super-human people" and has "never seen so much beauty". She says she has never had to rely on her appearance or felt pressured to be beautiful.<ref name=LatinoReview/> With regard to sources such as magazines, Strickland said she is "very careful" about the way she wants to be presented as a woman, saying she strives to avoid "sensationalizing or sexualizing" herself. As she put it, she is not accustomed to being considered a "pretty girl" or "attractive by a standard that [she's] never felt that [she] was part of".<ref name=EZ-Entertainment/> She has a very noticeable [[Southern American accent]], which she says is an advantage for her because it is "the one thing" that film and casting directors like the sound of and "really gravitate toward", particularly in Los Angeles, which she called "a town full of blondes".<ref name="Soergel"/><ref name=LatinoReview/> According to her, she learned to speak without the accent at university; because she does not want people to think she has no other skills, she uses it only when it is required or requested.<ref name="Soergel"/><ref name=LatinoReview/> She is experienced in stage combat and has said she "like[s] to do physical stuff".
