FROM PERTH TO HOLLYWOOD

Katherine was born in Perth, Australia, in 1996. Before her acting career,

Katherine excelled as a swimmer – she was ranked nationally – and studied both

music and drama. Her career finally kickstarted with a Skype audition for the

show that would change her life. 13 Reasons Why became a worldwide phenomenon,

and its lead female character, a household name whose fictional story touched

millions. Katherine followed that breakout role with the teen romantic

comedy-drama, Love, Simon. In 2019, Katherine appeared in the star-studded

thriller Knives Out, starring as 'Meg Thrombey.' The Academy Award and Golden

Globe-nominated feature follows the mysterious death of the Thrombey family

patriarch, Harlan, and how his family navigates the aftermath. Next up, she

retells the story of another heroine; 'Nimue' in Cursed, a fresh reimagining of

Arthurian legends with women at its helm. Cursed will be released on July 17th.

WOMAN OF WORTH & INFLUENCE

"Be Bold. Be Brave. Be kind," signs off one of Katherine's posts bringing

awareness to World Mental Health Day. As 'Hannah' in 13 Reasons Why, she became

a role model for young people and inspired them to be kind to themselves and to

others. Katherine had always cared about issues surrounding mental health, but

her role in Netflix's popular TV-show really marked the start of her raising

awareness about this universal topic. Katherine is also very passionate about

raising awareness about equality across gender, sexual orientation, age and

race. When preparing to play the part of Hannah, she worked with a psychiatrist

specialized in teenagers with It's On Us, the U.S. sexual consent campaign.

Katherine also starred as Leah in the coming-of-age LGBTQ+ movie Love, Simon,

which explores the journey of her best friend Simon as he comes out and finds

himself.

"We are thrilled to welcome Katherine to the L'Oreal Paris family. She is a

role model, a talented and confident young woman using her platform for

positive influence. Katherine's star will only continue to rise. As a young

radiant heroine who encourages people to believe in themselves, she's the

perfect spokesperson to embody our signature brand message: we are all worth

it."

Delphine Viguier-Hovasse

Global Brand President L'Oreal Paris

"L'Oreal Paris is the brand that creates what's next in beauty with an

essential message: everyone is worth it. It is all about learning how to love

yourself, how to be bold, how to be confident! People my age should not be

afraid to be themselves, because that's what makes us beautiful. When you know

you are worth it, you live your life to the fullest. Having always valued

empowerment, I can say that I am very grateful to be part of such an inspiring

group of women spokespersons."
