Biography |
Katie
Cassidy is a singer and actress. She is the daughter of
both 70's pop idol, David Cassidy and former model, Sherry
Benedon.
Cassidy grew up in Calabasas, California where she now
currently lives with her mother, stepfather Richard, and
half-sisters Jenna and Jamie.
As a child, Cassidy took gymnastics and eventually became a
cheerleader for the California Flyers, a competitive team.
She eventually cheered as a freshman for Calabasas High
School where she attended classes.
As a teenager, Cassidy became interested in show business.
She took acting, singing and dance lessons. Despite her
father's disapproval, she landed a deal with Artemis Records
to cover his 70's hit, "I Think I Love You". Cassidy was
able to land a role in "Bubblegum Babylon", VH1's TV special
on pop idols and the music business to help promote her
singing career. Unfortunately, her cover failed to attract a
large number of fans or a record deal.
While she was still signed with Artemis Records, she was
introduced to the popular boyband Dream Street. This is
where she first met Greg Raposo. They dated for a few months
in 2002. She also met her current boyfriend, Jesse
McCartney, another member of the group.
After her stint in the music business, Cassidy turned to
modelling. She modeled for Abercrombie and Fitch and
Guess?'s Rock and Republic line in 2004.
Modeling helped open the door to Cassidy's acting career.
She landed a number of jobs, including a recurring role as
Zoe on 7th Heaven, where she has appeared several times.
Following that, she appeared in the one-hour drama, "Sex
Love and Secrets". Unfortunately, the series was cancelled
after a few episodes.
Her 2006 projects include the horror remake When a Stranger
Calls. She is scheduled to star in another horror remake,
the murderous Christmas classic Black Christmas. The film is
due to be released towards the end of 2006. Other projects
for 2006 include Click, starring Adam Sandler, Walk the
Talk, with Cary Elwes and Illeana Douglas, and You Are Here
with Bijou Phillips, Lauren German, Patrick Flugar. |
