Birthname:
Katharine Payne Towne
Introduction
Katharine Towne is a smoking hot actress and a daughter of Hollywood royalty who for some reason has been unable to breakthrough to major success in the film industry. Katharine is the daughter of Oscar-winning screenwriter/director Robert Towne (Chinatown) and Julie Payne, and granddaughter of actors John Payne and Anne Shirley. Apparently, being a third generation Hollywood hottie is no longer enough to get starring roles major films. (So can someone please explain Rumer Willis?)

Career
Towne's career began with a small role in the 1998 movie Girl (1998). She then appeared in Go (1999), She's All That (1999), But I'm a Cheerleader (1999), and The Bachelor (1999), as well as guest-starring as Sunday on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
In 2000, Towne starred as Riley on NBC's short-lived sitcom "M.Y.O.B."
