Too bad she wasn't used more on DS.....I found her character very refreshing and the antidote to Arnold having all the cutesy pie lines

Apparently she only did 4 episodes and that was all the TV work she ever did. She had a brief 2 year marriage in the '90s to Robert Bernhardt. She kept her married name and went on to found TrainRite.org, that helped train dogs to assist those with special needs. But apparently the non-profit organization closed shop as of August 2007 and is seeking bankruptcy protection.

I liked the first episode she was in but I thought the second self titled episode 'Kathy' was far too cheesy and overdone, the bit where the audience gasp as she walks with crutches seems almost in poor taste imo.

By the time of her 4th episode it seemed like the writers had really run out of ideas for what to do with the character.

I rather enjoyed "Hall Monitor", it was a good twist on the traditional sitcom character gets a swelled head plot.
