ABC FAMILY’s

SHADOWHUNTERS
ACTRESS

SINGER // DANCER

By Kia Vang

I

“ felt the lights and the energy of the audience
and something hit me like a brick wall. I just knew.
This is what I had to do for the rest of my life and I’ve
never been more certain about anything in my life.”

Katherine McNamara never imagined herself in this
situation and though every calling in life may not be
right, this one certainly hit her well. Let’s just say, this
go-getter has had her stars aligned in the right paths.

MOST Celebrity caught up with the star of the
new ABC Family Show, Shadowhunters, and tells

us what it’s been like living in her thriving shoes.
The previous girl part of Disney Channel’s Madison
High says, “It was like a dream come true being cast
by Disney,” much like any other little girl waving
their wand while saying the phrase “and you’re
watching Disney Channel”. However, she’s
branched far from Disney and has been cast
into rising movies you’ll be sad to miss.

Being an actress had never been an intention
for Katherine as she was actually a ballet dancer
and softball player growing up. She had every
intention of going into the finance industry
when she was younger, however, when she was
around age ten, she ran into a family friend who
was directing a community theatre production
and needed a dancer. Katherine told us that
she was “the kid who would try anything,

so why not audition?”

At such a young age, the current nineteen-yearold has already accomplished more than what
any ordinary adult her age has reached. Being
able to work at her own pace from when she
was in school, this all paid off for Katherine.
At just fourteen years old, she graduated high
school – with honors – and went on to receive
her Bachelor’s of Science before she was even
legal! Talk about a serious accomplishment!
Much like any college kid, Katherine didn’t
sleep much during her undergrad degree,
however, she tells us, “it was all worth it

in the end.”
