Kathryn Morris
1st. Lt. Annalisa Lindstrom aka
"Stinger"
The Character: Annalisa Lindstrom's ideals led her to join the military because she felt that this was one way she could "make a difference". Tough and resourceful, she is aware that she has to prove herself in a male dominated enviroment. It doesn't stop her from showing her feminine side from time to time
Her birthday is January 28, but she won't
disclose the year.
Her favorite food is Ben and Jerry's Brownie ice cream sandwich,
but you have to go to several 7-11 stores to seek it out -- they
don't carry it at all of them. The sandwiches are "truly
heaven."
She's not into participating in sports that much, but will watch
Ice Skating -- finds that to be beautiful.
As far as hobbies go, she has lots of power tools that she likes
to play with. She'll strip cabinets or do other things around the
house. (She laid the linoleum in the kitchen at her house.) She
likes to write, and try different arts and crafts type things.
She started performing around the age of 5; her family had a
singing group that did a lot of traveling (very "Partridge
Family" like) and this segued into theater for her.
Ultimately, she decided to pursue acting professionally. Since
she'd been on the stage since a kid, acting was a natural
progression for her.
She's been acting professionally for about 7 years now; before
that she did a lot of "free stuff," as well as
waitressing and other things.
When she does have time to relax, she likes to go to the movies.
She usually sees the independent features that don't spend much
time at the theatres, but are usually the best films.
For a quick getaway, she'll go to San Fransisco
-- just the "coolest town!" Loves to eat Chinese food
at this little restaurant where you have to stand in line for 2
hours to get in, but it has the best food. Then on to
Ghirardelli's for a big sundae.
Her first acting job was on an NBC movie, Long Road Home, which
starred Mark Harmon. She portrayed a young girl who lost a child
to diptheria in the Depression. Had a choppy haircut and was like
doing The Grapes of Wrath on television. She considers it to have
been an "awesome experience and a great way to break into
the business."
If she couldn't be an actor, she'd definitely *not* be in a 9-5
type of job. She doesn't think her personality would mesh well
with that. She'd probably be a filmmaker or writer. And if she
was a filmmaker, and didn't know what she was doing, she'd try to
hire a lot of great people, wear a baseball cap, and try to have
a little authority.
Her favorite author is Tennessee Williams. An "incredible playwright -- timeless, dangerous, funny; incredible."
She grew up all over the United States --
primarily the South -- Texas -- even spent some time in Brooklyn
-- lot of time in Connecticut.
Connecticut was very cold; she spent a lot of time shoveling
driveways (only one boy in the family so they all had to help.)
It was also an airport town -- nothing much to do, so she would
spend time at McDonald's or driving around in her best friend's
Nova listening to AC/DC and Rush and stuff like that.
Right now she really enjoys Alternative music because so many
different kinds of musical styles are being incorporated into it.
She thinks Radiohead is incredible, and really likes Sting
because he tries to incorporate a lot of different stuff into his
work. She also enjoys the classics, like the classic jazz tunes.
Not a big fan of country, though.
If she could only take three things to a desert island, she'd
take a TV, a satellite dish, and a man.
