Catherine
was born in London, England, on August 14, 1968. Her father,
Peter, born in Britain, worked as an architect in London and her
mother, Mina, born in Iran, worked as a nurse. An only child, she
and her mother (after her parents divorced in Britain) emigrated
from England to the United States when she was three years old.
Interestingly, she considered herself a British subject until
1998, when she discovered by accident that at the age of 12 she
had become a naturalized American citizen. Catherine and her
mother lived in Los Angeles, where they stayed, at first, with her
mother's parents. During Catherine's early school years, she was a
bit of a tomboy; however, by Grade 11 she began to adopt a more
feminine attitude.Catherine attended the University of California
at Los Angeles for two years. While at university, she began
modeling part-time in Los Angeles, where she did modeling work in
catalogues and TV commercials. Eventually, she left school to do
some modeling work in Japan for four months
After returning to the U.S. and wanting to become an actress, she
hired an acting coach to help her develop her skills. A few movies
and TV shows later, Catherine auditioned (five times) for the lead
female role of Marine Major Sarah ''Mac'' MacKenzie on the CBS TV
action-drama series ''JAG.'' Knowing the show's originator, Donald
Bellisario, from having made a guest appearance in the first
season ''JAG'' episode, ''Skeleton Crew,'' Catherine wrote him a
long letter about how she loved the ''Mac'' character and how she
felt she was the best person for the part. She was cast in the
role.Catherine is currently married to Adam Beason, 29, and lives
in Sherman Oaks, California. She has two Italian greyhound
doggies, Zoe and Leo. She is fluent in the Persian language Farsi.
She enjoys painting, kick boxing, sky diving, bungy jumping, dirt
biking, mountain biking, skiing, and snowboarding. Her mother is
her personal assistant
