Kathie Browne 

Born on September 19, 1929,  passed away on April 8, 2003. During Kathie Browne’s time in the entertainment industry, it was rumored that TV shows were only produced by the three major networks to give Kathie something to guest star in each week.

Kathie was a beautiful and innocent character who audiences never tired of seeing. She had an almost anime-like quality to her, and her charm and charisma kept viewers coming back for more. In fact, she was such a popular guest star that she appeared on Perry Mason four times and the Love Boat twice!

Of course, the Star Trek guys had her striped down to almost nothing for her TOS appearance. Bill Shatner had high praise for her. He said that she was one of the best kissers he had ever worked with. A comment I’m sure Kathie treasured her entire life. Kathie was married to Darren McGavin and yes, she guest stared in his 1974 series Kolchak: The Night Stalker. After Annette Funicello, Kathie was my second TV Star crush.
