Biography: Katie was born two months premature at just four pounds, as the youngest family member to her father Martin, who's a lawyer, and her mother Kathleen, who's a philanthropist. Katie has three sisters and a brother, and they was raised Catholic. While her family members are good at sports, Katie doesn't enjoy playing them. Before becoming an actress, Katie wanted to be a doctor. She went to Notre Dame Academy, an all girls private school in Toledo, Ohio.
