********************************

“Studs Lonigan” theatrical release (uncredited)

Based on the book by the same name, written by James T. Farrell, “Studs Lonigan” was filmed in 1960 and released in 1961. Filmed by United Artists and directed by Irving Lerner (with whom Kathie would work three times), the film was advertised as “following the book to the letter” – a letter which had gotten the publication criticized, censured, denounced blackballed and blacklisted “by every civic and religious group in the land.”

Highlighting the explosive film is a wild party scene.  It starts out as a Chicago ward-heelers’ celebration, during the speakeasy era, which rapidly degenerates into an orgy.  Kathie Browne is the focal point of the party scene, as she is mauled, almost stripped, kissed with drunken violence, forced to run downstairs in her undergarments to avoid being raped, set-upon by lecherous drunks, and tugged about by jealous girls.

Kathie’s part lasted approximately ten minutes on the screen (considerably less in the now out-of-print video), but received wide acclaim in pre-release reviews.  The roughness of the party scene surprised even   director David Lerner, who had set it up.  It appeared his players got “carried away” with their roles, but he let the cameras roll because “he knew the scene would sell tickets.”

For her role in the film, Kathie received scale pay – $100 and enough black-and-blue marks to convince anyone it was a hard way to earn a living.

“And it all happened to a girl whose first role was Water in Maeterlinck’s Bluebird, back in grade school,” quipped Kathie.
