'''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.
