- Kathryn Beck was born in Queensland, Australia in 1986. She has always wanted to be an actor ever since she was young, and grew up watching films such as "My Girl" and wishing she was in it.
She studied drama at the Queensland University of Technology, graduating in August of 2006. In 2007 she had a guest role for a number of episodes in the Australian drama, "Home and Away", where she played the character Lily Nelson. Most recently she appeared in ABC TV's six-part drama series, "East of Everything", playing an endearing optimist by the name of Lizzy, opposite Australian acting heavyweights Tom Long, Gia Carides, Steve Bisley and Richard Roxburgh.
In 2007, ignoring her father's pleas to become a drama teacher, she relocated from Brisbane to Sydney to pursue an acting career. She has recently been cast in the Australian film, "Subdivision", co-starring Bryan Brown.

- She has one sister and two brothers.
- Grew up in Wellington Point, Queensland, Australia and attended Alexandra Hills State High School.
- She was nominated for the award of Best Newcomer in the Sydney Theatre Awards for her performance in Katherine Thomson's play King Tide.
- She was nominated for AFI award for best guest/newcomer in a television drama, 2009.
- 'East of Everything' was my first big job and it was a lovely, beautiful introduction to the industry. We filmed on location in Byron Bay, so I based myself there for the whole shoot and just absorbed everything. I learnt so much watching Richard [Roxburgh] and Gia [Carides] perform. I also got to do a really intense scene with Tom Long, who's an incredible, mind-blowing actor. - (on her role in the Australian drama series, "East of Everything")
- I don't come from an actor-y family, but there was no way I was going to do anything else. I used to watch films such as "My Girl" when I was a kid, and be really jealous that I wasn't in it.
- I don't think my soul could handle teaching drama rather than doing it. If I'm not working in 10 years, maybe I'll reconsider it, but now I have to go for it.
