 Born
near Houston, Texas and raised in Philadelphia, Atlanta and

Atlanta when she was 8 years old, then made her professional
debut in a Chicago Shakespeare Theater production of The

American Girls: Kit's World while in Chicago, and followed
that with a one-week trip to Los Angeles to test the waters.
During her week there, Kay landed the child lead in the film
Dead Heat, starring Kiefer Sutherland and Anthony LaPaglia,
and there was no turning back.
In
