Many young girls in small rural areas across America undoubtedly dream of escaping the limits of their youth to become great actors. Of course, most never do, either because they lack the necessary talent or appearance or never try. KaDee Strickland, on the other hand, accomplished that desire and went on to become a successful Hollywood actress, a dream she never had as a child.

Strickland, who is beautiful, charming, and unafraid of her accent in a town full of southern belles, has positioned herself to become a star in the short time she's been acting. Hence, in the following biography, let's learn more about the actress' personal and professional career. 

Aly Michalka Biography - Actress And Singer

Has Loving Parents 

The actress was born Katherine Dee Strickland on December 14, 1975, in Blackshear, Georgia, U.S. She was welcomed into this world by her nurse mother, Susan Strickland, and her father, Dee Strickland, a high school football coach, superintendent, and principal. KaDee Strickland's parents combined the "K" in her first name with her dad's name (and also her middle name) to form "KaDee."

Furthermore, the actress was raised in Patterson, Georgia, and comes from a very loving and supportive household. 

Katherine was well-known in her community as a part of the Strickland family and for her extra classroom activities and accomplishments as a youngster. For instance, she was the Homecoming Queen in middle, elementary, and high school, as well as a cheerleader and the student council president. 

Besides talking about her educational background, the Blackshear-born performer attended Pierce Country High School, and later, she earned her fine arts degree from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. 

Early Acting Days 

As mentioned earlier, KaDee began acting during high school. After studying acting, she obtained several minor roles in television, film, and stage projects. Strickland's career began in 1999 with a minor appearance at a funeral after-party in The Sixth Sense, a two-line role she got after impressing director-writer M. Night Shyamalan.

When staying in Philadelphia, KaDee had several opportunities to participate in other films in production in and around the town. Furthermore, after moving to New York City, she appeared in Bomb the System, Adam Bhala Lough's filmmaking debut. However, the movie received unenthusiastic reviews from critics and was not shown outside of the film festivals until 2005.

Likewise, KaDee's other minor acting roles include Women of Manhattan, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, All My Children, The Street Lawyer, and Anything Else, to name a few. Now, let's learn about her major film roles and the amount she earned as a result of them in the following subheading.

Besides, Strickland has also been a part of several television series. In early 2005, she was featured in the pilot episode for the ABC television series Laws of Chance. In late 2005, the Blackshear native joined the cast of The Flock. Likewise, her first aired TV project as a cast regular was The Wedding Bells, produced by David E. Kelley. However, the actress is best known for her performance as Charlotte King on the Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practice. 

Nonetheless, the Something's Gotta Give actress must be earning quite well, having been a part of such commercially successful projects. In addition, an American actor earns an average of $70,644 annually. Regardless, we hope Katherine is enjoying her well-earned $500 thousand fortune.

Blessed With A Supportive Husband 

KaDee considers herself extremely lucky and grateful to have a partner who is so loving and caring and looks past all of her flaws. She is happily married to actor Jason Behr, but he is much more than a husband to her. Jason is her best friend, home, family, lover, cheerleader, and support system all in one. 

KaDee and Jason first met during the set of The Grudge in 2004. According to the actress, they became friends instantly since they shared a common interest in Japanese culture. The two started dating soon after the movie wrapped. Later, on her birthday, Jason proposed to her.

Similarly, Strickland and Behr decided to give their relationship another name, and the duo tied the wedding knot on November 10, 2006, in Ojai, California. The couple's wedding ceremony was inspired by Japanese culture, and despite being a small gathering, it was stunning.

Moreover, KaDee Strickland's husband, Jason, is also a successful and established American television and film actor who is widely known for his performances in the series Roswell. Just like her, Behr also has around 30 acting credits under his name. 

Overall, the duo is a magnificent example of enduring love in the universe. We hope they stay together forever and their love endures despite all challenges.

Loving Mother Of Three Children 

Apart from being a successful actress and a loving wife, KaDee is also a devoted mother who loves her children with all her heart. The actress, alongside her husband, Jason, have welcomed three kids. On October 17, 2013, the couple's first son, Atticus Elijah Behr, was born. Later, KaDee's twin daughters, Caroline Matilda Behr and Emmeline Victoria Behr were born on July 8, 2017. 

Furthermore, Mrs. Behr is a wonderful mother who embraces her motherhood. During her pregnancy days, her hubby perfectly took care of her, and she even stated in an interview with People that their love grew more profound and their marriage was strengthened once their little ones arrived. 

Moreover, KaDee Strickland's children are still young and growing up, so discussing their professional careers is too early. However, it will be interesting to see if they would follow in their parents' footsteps or not. 

Although The Grudge star hasn't been actively seen acting in recent years, she gained many admirers because of her performances in the 90s. Also, Jason Behr's wife seems to prioritize her family and personal life more now, and that's entirely her choice. Nonetheless, we hope she keeps shining and continues doing what she loves.
