Biography[]

Katherine Dee Strickland was born in Blackshear, Georgia[1] to Susan Strickland, a nurse and Dee Strickland, a high-school football football coach, principal and superintendent.[2] KaDee's birthname is Katherine Dee; her parents combined the K in Katherine with her father's name to make KaDee.[3] She was raised in Patterson, Georgia, which she said is a "one-stoplight town,"[4] and she had a job picking tobacco on a local farm for eight years. When she was a child, Strickland watched the Woody Allen film Annie Hall (1977) and was, as she put it, "wanting to be in that place, and being completely taken with the energy of those people. I wanted to be in it".[5]

After graduating from high school, Strickland wanted to study drama at college in New York City, but her parents did not want her to live in such a large city so soon.[6] Consequently, she applied instead to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. During her studies there, she joined the Screen Actors Guild and considered using her given name, Katherine, as the first part of her stage name, before deciding she was "much too tomboy" for it.[7] Strickland took a part-time waitressing job at a local restaurant and interned at a casting agency, where one of her tasks was to read lines at auditions for small roles in local film and television projects; the job landed Strickland her first film role. After graduating from university with a Fine Arts degree,[8] she was schooled in New York City,[9] and in late 2003, she moved to Los Angeles, California.[10] In 2006, Strickland received the University of the Arts's Silver Star Alumni Award.
