Trivia

Katharine refuses to do nude scenes, and has had a body double for every instance where such a scene exists, including the bed and shower scenes in Freddy vs. Jason (2003), the rising from the bed scene in Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004), and the bed scene in Engaged to Kill (2006) (TV), to name but three. The same woman body-doubled the latter two.

She said that when she went to a pharmacy after a day of shooting Ginger Snaps (2000), the people thought she'd been beaten up since she was still covered in fake blood.

Was originally asked to audition to play "Lori" in Freddy vs. Jason (2003), but when she arrived, director Ronny Yu asked her to audition for the role of "Gibb", claiming she would better suit a more liberal role. Katharine reluctantly accepted. Yu failed to tell her she would be expected to do the nude scenes, which would spark friction between the two during shooting when she made it clear she would not do the nude scenes.

Sister of former child actor, and journalist Joshua Murray.

Daughter of Graeme Murray and Gail Murray.

Worked 3 times with her brother Josh: "Cold Front", "The Last Winter" and "Knight Moves" (this last one was directed by their father Graeme Murray).

Personal Quotes

"I hate to say it, but I was really expecting a little bit more. It's just the same-old, same-old. There's nothing to it - it's all about running around and screaming, 'No, Freddy, don't!'" - on working on Freddy vs. Jason (2003).

Everyone wants you naked. I think I've done one or two movies in the past six years where they haven't tried something slimy to get me naked.

You do these Canadian independent movies, you build up a name, and then you've gotta do shitty TV episodes just to pay your bills. It's hard to build your career when you keep on having to backtrack to do crappy things to pay for what you're doing. So it's kind of a weird situation.
