Katherine Mallen Kupferer

Born to theatrical parents, Katherine Mallen Kupferer made her professional debut in Chicago Shakespeare Theater's acclaimed production of GYPSY, and her big screen debut in the full-length indie feature FOOLS, followed by a featured role in Steve McQueen's film WIDOWS.  This fall she will be seen as Gretchen in the long-anticipated film adaptation of Judy Blume's beloved classic ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET.

When she's not acting, Katherine is a lover of horses and an accomplished equestrian - most recently taking fourth place in the Beginner Novice division at the Kent School Horse Trials. She has also become the proud owner of 11 year old Quarterhorse-Thoroughbred cross "Bay Is The New Black", affectionately known as "Piper."
