Kathy O' is a 1958 American CinemaScope comedy-drama film directed by Jack Sher and starring Dan Duryea, Jan Sterling, Patty McCormack and Mary Fickett.[1]
Kathy O'Rourke is a child actress who portrays girls such as Shirley Temple on the screen. However, in real life, Kathy is a self-centered brat. Publicity agent Harry Johnson is tasked by the studio with the job of keeping national magazine reporter Celeste Saunders, his ex-wife, from discovering that their child star is a devil and not an angel. Celeste and Kathy become great friends because Celeste treats Kathy as a normal child and not as a star. When Kathy runs away to be with Celeste, Harry is accused of kidnapping her.
