Biography

Kathleen Rowe McAllen was born in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended UC Berkeley and UCLA as a pre-med major.[1][2]

Turning to acting, she appeared in Broadway and Off-Broadway productions of The Human Comedy, Into the Woods, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,[3] A Little Night Music, Merrily We Roll Along, and On Your Toes.[4] In 1990 she won a Theatre World Award for her performance as Giulietta Trapani in Aspects of Love.[2][5] She was also nominated for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical the same year.[6] In 1997 she played Dulcinea in Man of La Mancha[7] and Mary Bailey in A Wonderful Life.[8]

McAllen acted in the television soap operas As the World Turns, Loving, and All My Children. She reprised the role of Giulietta Trapani in a 1993 television film adaptation of Aspects of Love. Her sole theatrical film credit is for the role of Gabrielle/Julie in the low-budget 1981 horror film Fear No Evil, about which she later said, "Every time I see it I absolutely cringe. I am the worst actress in the entire thing; I was 20 years old and terrified."[1]
