Kathryn Hereford (1910-1993) was an American film producer, dancer, and actress. She was married to Paramount producer Pandro S. Berman.[1] [2]
After being discovered by Florenz Ziegfeld, Hereford began her career as a stage actress on Broadway, appearing in a number of musicals.[3] She then transitioned into a career on the big screen; her first known credit was on 1935's The Great Ziegfeld.[4]
She later transitioned into producing films under Paramount's Pandro S. Berman. According to Berman, he made Hereford a producer on 1957's Jailhouse Rock as she'd been an Elvis fan for quite some time, and she'd go on to work on 11 films afterward.[5] Most of her credits are as associate producer, but she was the lead producer on 1960s Key Witness.[6]
In 1960, she became Berman's second wife, and the pair remained married until her death in 1993.[7]
