Kathleen graduated in the class of 1915 of Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts. The photo displayed is from the Smith College year book. Her home town is listed as Detroit, Michigan. Following graduation, she attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. For a season, she was also the understudy for the famous actress Jane Cowl.

She settled for a while in the Los Angeles area with her mother. In addition to her presentations as an actress, one who gives monologues (a diseuse), she was also employed as a teacher. GenealogyBank.com finds 99 newspaper articles for her, in places throughout the country. In the 1930s, she was invited by Eleanor Roosevelt to perform at the White House. Typical presentations, which she created herself, dealt with women's life in different periods of time. She wore time-related clothing during her acts.

In 1921, her mother married a medical doctor, who practiced in Tacoma. An article entitled Carrot Juice, Pottassium, Broth Monologuist's Diet that appeared in the 20 Apr 1938 issue, page 18, of the Evening World-Herald of Omaha, Nebraska noted her home address as Tacoma, with headquarters in New York and Los Angeles. Kathleen appears in the Tacoma City Directory from 1945, onward. In later life, she took much pleasure providing presentations to local school children.
