Biography
Right from her very childhood she use o perform on the kitchen table, and her family, Swansea neighbours and friends, were absolutely certain of her future movie stardom.
From the age of four, Catherine starred in her first public performances, singing and dancing with the local Catholic congregation's amateur shows. Years of hard work were later rewarded when she won the British Tap Dancing Championships.
At the age of 10, Catherine made her acting debut when she played the lead in "Annie", in a production at Swansea's Grand Theatre; this led shortly afterwards to an offer to play the role of "Tullah" in Bugsy Mallone. Catherine craved to dance as much as possible - so her parents allowed her the freedom to go out to Swansea's adult nightclubs. Although she was only thirteen, she passed for somewhat older. A year later, Mickey Dolenz, the former "Monkey", stopped by at Swansea and auditioned Catherine for "The Pyjama Game". He was so impressed with her performances, she was offered the opportunity to join his show for the rest of the tour.
By this time, it was obvious that Catherine was strongly determined to pursue a career in showbusiness; everyone was assured of her extraordinary talent, and at the age of fifteen, Aled Thomas, the head of Dumbarton School, granted permission for Catherine to leave her studies a year early. London, and the spotlights of the world famous "West End" stage, beckoned the Swansea girl to her destiny with stardom.
In less than two years, Catherine landed the part of second understudy in the U.K. revival of "42nd Street". As fate would have it, the Producer's first viewing of the show happened to be on the night Catherine took the lead role of Peggy Sawyer. Her performance and stage presence was electric; and she was offered the lead role.
