Kathrine Baumann

Actor · Born September 11, 1949 (77) · Independence, Ohio, USA

Born and raised In Independence, Ohio, young Kathrine Baumann was a varsity cheerleader, at Independence High School there. She cheered for eight years in both junior and senior high school. By 1970, Baumann would place first runner-up in the Miss America Pageant, excelling in the Talent and Swimsuit awards segments of the program. Using her Miss America scholarship funds, she then enrolled in filmmaking courses at UCLA and spent a summer studying abroad at Oxford University. Kathrine also studied acting under the auspices of the renowned actor Agnes Moorehead. During her 15-year acting career, Kathrine guest-starred in a variety of television productions including M*A*S*H, Knight Rider, Simon and Simon, The Fall Guy, Fantasy Island, CHiPS, The Dukes of Hazzard, and several other TV shows and made for TV movies. The "Henry In Love" M*A*S*H episode written for Kathrine by Oscar-winning producer Larry Gelbart is ranked as one of the top three M*A*S*H episodes ever made. In 1988, "Kathy Lynn" launched ''Kathrine Baumann Beverly Hills'', a jewelry store in Beverly Hills, CA, which eventually led to her becoming celebrated as the "Beverly Hills Bag Lady." The store creates pop-art/pro sports team themed handbags that have established her in the eyes of many around Hollywood as the "Queen of Hollywood's Red Carpet." Baumann has also been touted by CNN as the "female Andy Warhol". Her clients have ranged from Joan Rivers and Suzanne Somers to actress Bai Ling and Dionne Warwick.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
