==Career== ==Career==
Isabelle has been credited under several stage names during the course of her career.


She began her acting career at the age of eight as Katie Murray, playing an episodic role in the television series '']'' in 1989. Then she continued to act in small episodic roles in television series and films such as: '']'', '']'', '']'', ''Burning Bridges'',<ref name="Gardella">{{cite news |last1=Gardella |first1=Kay |author-link1=Kay Gardella |title=ABC's 'Burning Bridges' lacks fire |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/467835624 |url-access=limited |access-date=April 30, 2019 |work=]|location=New York |date=May 6, 1990 |page=2 |department=TV Week}}</ref> '']'', '']'',<ref name="Stone" /> and '']''.<ref name="Millar" />
Katharine has appeared in many, mostly Canadian, and American movies, and TV series episodes; her career began in 1988, in the movie '']'' (1989), starring ] and ]. She co-starred with ] in '']'' (2000).


Isabelle has worked with her half-brother Joshua Murray in ''Cold Front'' and ''The Last Winter''.<ref name="Inwood" /> In 1998, she worked with her father Graeme Murray on an episode of ''The X-Files'' titled "]".<ref name="Millar" />
Katharine's tour de force to date, (and the work she is most proud of) was in the 2001 indie movie '']'', alongside ]. The film, despite critical acclaim, went without commercial release.
2002 included supporting roles in the remake of '']'' (TVM) as Tina Blake, and a minor role in '']''. In 2003, further supporting roles in the minor indy '']'' (no commercial release), and in the form of Gibb in the dire '']'', which Katharine hated with a passion, making her disappointment with the movie known before its release.<ref></ref> At the end of the year there was a major role in '']'' (no commercial release).
2004 brought the supporting role of Amber in the earnest '']'' (TVM), followed by a lead role in '']'' (TVM), and in the (limited release) indy thriller '']''. Making a belated addition to the original in 2004 were the ''Ginger Snaps'' sequels: '']'' (in which Katharine took a minor role), and '']'', made back-to-back on a sorely limited budget. Katharine had to be cajoled into participating in them.{{Fact|date=April 2007}} Her reticence would prove well founded as ''GS2'' bombed at the box office, and ''GS Back'' went straight to video.


In 1998, she played Lindsay Clark in the film '']'', where ], ], and ] were her film partners.<ref name="horrorsociety" />
Unfortunately her reticence didn't extend to refusing Al Pacino's ('']'') advice regarding stage work. Katharine would make her theatre debut in ] in September 2004 with Marcello Cabezas and Jason Lewis in a critically poorly received adaptation of ]'s ''This Is Our Youth'', a minor work of very little moment.


She first found fame with the role of ] in the film '']'', directed by ]; actress ] became her co-star in the film as ]. Casting took place in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. Isabelle auditioned on the same day as Perkins at their agency in Vancouver, reading to one another off-camera. Screenwriter Karen Walton said that they were exactly as she had pictured the characters when their taped auditions had arrived.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archive.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2001/10/26/ginger_snaps/index.html |title=Ginger Snaps |last=Taylor |first=Charles |date=October 26, 2001 |work=Salon |access-date=November 30, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081204075040/http://archive.salon.com/ent/movies/review/2001/10/26/ginger_snaps/index.html |archive-date=December 4, 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The film tells how during the filming of an amateur horror film, the two sisters find themselves being hunted by a monster. One of the sisters is bitten, but her wounds heal incredibly fast leaving the sisters suspicious of what it is that's hunting them.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.popmatters.com/review/ginger-snaps/ |title=Ginger Snaps (2001) |website=Pop Matters |access-date=July 30, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hollywood.com/movies/ginger-snaps-59115521/ |title=Ginger Snaps {{!}} Movie {{!}} 2001 |website=Hollywood.com |access-date=July 30, 2016}}</ref>
2006 included '']'' (TVM) and '']'' (TVM), relatively minor works, neither of which would be well received by critics.


''What Culture'' said:


<blockquote>Obsessed with death and morbidity, and afraid of adulthood, Ginger Fitzgerald, portrayed by Katharine Isabelle of American Mary fame, only gets worse when she's bitten by a ] and the transformation into a wolf begins. She gradually becomes aggressive and over-sexualised, loses her relationship with her sister, grows pointy teeth and sprouts hair in really weird places. She even grows a tail that she actually attempts to cut off. It takes a big set of cojones to try to cut off any body part. Ultimately though, the film is interesting because it examines the dichotomy between Ginger's humanity and her animalistic side.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://whatculture.com/film/10-badass-female-horror-villains?page=5 |title=10 Badass Female Horror Villains |website=What Culture |date=July 18, 2014 |access-date=July 30, 2016}}</ref></blockquote>
Katharine and ] ('']'') were born in the same hospital, went to the same pre-school, elementary and private schools, and are at the same agency.


Jessica Roakes of ''The Toast'' also mentions the metaphorical nature of the character saying "Ginger’s body has betrayed her by ]. This is a key tenet of the body-horror genre — the monstrous comes not just from the outside, but from within the human body, from infection or perversion or unwanted biological functions. In Ginger’s case, it is her metamorphosis from girl to woman that renders her monstrous."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://the-toast.net/2014/10/29/ginger-snaps-menstrual-horror-movie-dreams/ |title=Ginger Snaps: The Menstrual Horror Movie Of Your Dreams |website=The Toast |access-date=July 30, 2016}}</ref>

Katharine Isobel Murray (born November 2, 1981), known professionally as Katharine Isabelle, is a Canadian actress. She has been described as a scream queen due to her roles in various horror films. She started her acting career in 1989, playing a small role in the television series MacGyver. She gained fame for the role of Ginger Fitzgerald in the films Ginger Snaps, Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed, and Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning.

In 2014 Katharine Isabelle was awarded the Fangoria Chainsaw Award for Best Actress for her role as Mary Mason in the Canadian body horror film American Mary.

Early life

Katharine Isabelle Murray was born on November 2, 1981, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Her parents are Graeme Murray, a production designer who has won two Emmy Awards for work on The X-Files, and Gail Johnson Murray, a writer and producer. Her paternal grandparents and maternal grandfather are from Scotland. Her paternal half-brother is Joshua Murray, a director and former actor.

Career

Isabelle has been credited under several stage names during the course of her career.

She began her acting career at the age of eight as Katie Murray, playing an episodic role in the television series MacGyver in 1989. Then she continued to act in small episodic roles in television series and films such as: Cold Front, Immediate Family, The Last Winter, Burning Bridges, Children of the Dust, Salt Water Moose, and Married to a Stranger.

Isabelle has worked with her half-brother Joshua Murray in Cold Front and The Last Winter. In 1998, she worked with her father Graeme Murray on an episode of The X-Files titled "Schizogeny".

In 1998, she played Lindsay Clark in the film Disturbing Behavior, where Katie Holmes, James Marsden, and Nick Stahl were her film partners.

She first found fame with the role of Ginger Fitzgerald in the film Ginger Snaps, directed by John Fawcett; actress Emily Perkins became her co-star in the film as Brigitte Fitzgerald. Casting took place in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. Isabelle auditioned on the same day as Perkins at their agency in Vancouver, reading to one another off-camera. Screenwriter Karen Walton said that they were exactly as she had pictured the characters when their taped auditions had arrived. The film tells how during the filming of an amateur horror film, the two sisters find themselves being hunted by a monster. One of the sisters is bitten, but her wounds heal incredibly fast leaving the sisters suspicious of what it is that's hunting them.

What Culture said:

Obsessed with death and morbidity, and afraid of adulthood, Ginger Fitzgerald, portrayed by Katharine Isabelle of American Mary fame, only gets worse when she's bitten by a lycanthrope and the transformation into a wolf begins. She gradually becomes aggressive and over-sexualised, loses her relationship with her sister, grows pointy teeth and sprouts hair in really weird places. She even grows a tail that she actually attempts to cut off. It takes a big set of cojones to try to cut off any body part. Ultimately though, the film is interesting because it examines the dichotomy between Ginger's humanity and her animalistic side.

Jessica Roakes of The Toast also mentions the metaphorical nature of the character saying "Ginger’s body has betrayed her by menstruating. This is a key tenet of the body-horror genre — the monstrous comes not just from the outside, but from within the human body, from infection or perversion or unwanted biological functions. In Ginger’s case, it is her metamorphosis from girl to woman that renders her monstrous."

Isabelle with Syvash Yoriko at the premiere of the short film Favorite People List, January 27, 2009.

The actress also portrayed the character in the sequel Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed (2004) and the prequel Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning.

Two years later, Isabelle appeared in the film Insomnia. In this detective thriller directed by Christopher Nolan, the actress played along with Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hilary Swank. In 2012, Isabelle starred in the horror film twins Jen and Sylvia Soska American Mary. American Mary premiered at the London FrightFest Film Festival on August 27, 2012. It received a limited theatrical run in the U.S. on May 31, 2013, and became available on video on demand on May 16, 2013. This role brought her many awards at various horror film festivals, including the "Fangoria Chainsaw Awards".

In 2008, Isabelle received the Gemini Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Supporting Role in a Dramatic Program or Mini-Series for her role in The Englishman's Boy. She later reunited with Perkins in Another Cinderella Story where they played the daughters of Jane Lynch's character.

Cooperation with the gothic sisters continued in 2014 when Isabelle played a major role in their 2006 horror sequel, See No Evil 2. Later, she played a major role in the thriller Primate. In 2015, the film 88 starred Isabelle, after she played a cameo role in the film The Girl in the Photographs.

Also, she played a small role in the short film Iteration 1 and one of the main roles in the action film Countdown in 2016. In 2019, Isabelle was cast as Vera Stone in the Netflix horror-drama series, The Order.

Personal life

Despite acting in a large number of gory films and television productions, Isabelle is uneasy with the sight of real blood.

In 2003, Isabelle almost died from a viral infection, which caused one of her lungs to collapse, as well as kidney failure. She fell into a coma and had to be put on a ventilator. Isabelle made this revelation in 2020, on her Instagram account.
