If you’ve found yourself on this site by accident, you might be wondering who the lovely Katie Cassidy is? No worries we’ll happily fill you in on this talented actress. Born in November 1986, this 25 years old US TV and movie star has been working regularly since 2003.

You can take a look around to learn a little bit about her, but seeing as you are reading this right now, I may as well give you a few facts to go on. Then you can make educated decisions about your opinion of Katie. Who knows, maybe her TV shows will catch your attention as you play Cheekybingo or file your nails one day.

- She plays Juliet Sharp in US TV drama Gossip Girl. A character who, well, let’s just say her motives aren’t particularly honourable. Everyone loves a bad girl.

- She once dated US pop star Jesse McCartney, back when he was singing about Beautiful Souls and riding a surfboard in US drama Summerland. She even appeared in his music video for ‘She’s no you’. Katie and him are thought to still be friends.

- She starred alongside Selena Gomez in 2011 hit Monte Carlo. The film also starred Leighton Meister (of Gossip Girl too), and Glee’s Cory Monteith.

- If you love a good slasher movie, Katie made her horror début in the 2006 film When A Stranger Calls. She played Tiffany.

- Her biggest TV roles have been in Harper’s Island, Gossip Girl, Supernatural, and Melrose Place.

- Her height is 5′ 7″.

- Her father David Cassidy was a 1970s pop star who was adored by women everywhere. This was thanks to his role in The Partridge Family. Her mother Sherry Williams was a fashion model.

Amanda Woodward is back. And her claws are sharper than ever.

Starting tonight, Heather Locklear reprises her role as the iconic bad girl on CW’s remake of Melrose Place (9 ET/PT). And as a PR firm partner, she’s ready to school junior publicist Ella Simms (Katie Cassidy) on the rules of the road.

Though both actresses say they’re not real-life vixens (they prefer slippers to stilettos), give them a short skirt and throw in a couple of ice-cold lines, and the pair embodies the femme fatale. Here Locklear and Cassidy reveal their rules of workplace etiquette, vixen-style.

Melrose Place made its long-awaited comeback this week, and it proved to be just as steamy as the original. Not that much of the cast remembers the original.

“For the most part, this cast has no connection to the other one,” Laura Leighton, who’s reprising her role as the scandalous Sydney Andrews, admits in the fall TV preview issue of Entertainment Weekly. “They never miss any opportunity to tell me that they weren’t even old enough to watch the original show. Katie [Cassidy, sitting above] turned to me the other day and said, ‘So were you, like, on the old one?’ I have to keep my sense of humor intact because it’s been a series of humiliations, really.”

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, who turns 25 in October, admits she was too young to catch it the first time around, too. “I never really watched shows like this until I was pregnant,” says the singer-actress. “But they’re so much fun — they’re part of American culture.”

People who grow up in Los Angeles don’t become farmers. It seems like Angelenos gravitate toward a career in the entertainment industry. After all, they’re surrounded by the glitz and glamour, and it’s attainable. But imagine growing up in Los Angeles with parents in the biz, and thinking about what the future holds. Think that they’ll be tilling fields in a few years?

There was never any doubt that Katie Cassidy would go into showbiz — she was destined for stardom. That’s an overused phrase, but she’s the child of David Cassidy, the famous singer/actor known best for his role on The Partridge Family, and Sherry Williams, the actress/model, and it was just a matter of time before fate caught up to her. “I knew I loved acting, and I was in theater when I was in elementary school, but I didn’t actually think that it was a reality,”
Cassidy recalls. “That it could be my career and I could actually make money doing this and support myself and a family and whatnot. And it actually ended up becoming my reality. I have the coolest job on the planet.”
