CATHY MacGREGOR was bom in New York City and she was slated for the theater from the day she was born, for her whole family was in it. And her uncle, Edgar MacGregor, was one of the most successful musical directors of his time.
Uncle Edgar always said, "Have a happy, carefree childhood, dear, and when you are ready come to me." So Cathy went to school, appeared in every play the schools put on.
In 1939, Cathy was graduated from Curtis High School on Staten Island. And she went to her Uncle Edgar. She was ready. But Uncle Edgar said, "Well, it isn't as easy as all that, dear." So Cathy decided she'd better learn how to make a living. She bought a book and learned stenography and typing in one month.
On her first secretarial job she met a girl who was connected with the Little Theater at the YWCA. After office hours, the two girls worked in the Little Theater and during the summer caught a 5 o'clock train for Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, every day, to work in summer stock. They had a wonderful time and, by the end of the summer, both of them had pernicious anemia.
Through a friend, Cathy got an audition with Bob and Betty White on the People's Playhouse show. The Whites were very enthusiastic about her acting and advised her to give up everything else and stick to radio. And suddenly she began to get jobs in radio, in very unusual ways. For instance, unknown though she was, she insisted on reading for a part in Studio One's production of "King's Row," and so impressed director Fletcher Markle that he gave her the part and pointedly introduced her to the audience as one of the most brilliant actresses to come his way. Then she got a running comedy part on the Perry Mason series, because she ran into Arthur Hanna, the director then, on a furiously cold day on 52nd Street and impressed herself on him by being able to joke about the cold which made him so miserable. The writers on the Dick Tracy program also found themselves writing the part of Joan Ashland into the script more often than they'd originally planned, after Cathy started playing it.
Catherine MacGregor is on her way up, now. She's found her way at attracting attention, initially by her sparkling good humor which infects everyone, then by her really compelling performances. Watch for her, because she's moving very fast.
