__TOC__

== Overview ==
'''Katee Sackhoff''' was born and raised in and around St. Helens, Oregon. Moved to Beaverton when she was 15. Birth name is "Kathryn Ann Sackhoff".

== Biographical Notes ==
Sackhoff originally took up swimming and planned to swim in college, and then be in a competitive swimming career, but a knee injury ended those plans (just as a knee injury ended her character's plans of being a [[Pyramid (RDM)|pyramid]] player). After this, Sackhoff took up acting when she was 16.

Sackhoff most recently starred opposite Richard Dreyfuss and Marcia Gay Harden in the CBS series, "The Education of Max Bickford". On the big screen, she appeared opposite Jamie Lee Curtis in Dimension Films' "Halloween 8: Resurrection". She was also featured in the films "My First Mister" with Christine Lahti and "The Glass House" with Diane Lane.

Upon graduating from high school in Portland, Oregon, Sackhoff moved to Los Angeles, where she landed the lead role in the MTV pilot "Locust Valley". She went on to star in the Fox Family Channel series "The Fearing Mind". Sackhoff's other television credits include a recurring role on MTV's "Undressed", guest spots on "ER"; "Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane" and "Chicken Soup for the Soul". She also had a supporting role in the USA Network film "Hefner: Unauthorized". She will appear in the upcoming films "White Noise 2" and "The Last Sentinel".

According to Ron Moore and David Eick in the podcast for "[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]", Katee is ''no longer'' dating a tackle from the Kansas City Chiefs.

Katee has a dog named "Meatball".

Katee has three tattoos that we know of. She has a crucifix tattoo on her left shoulder blade. In the show, it is always covered up by bandages, etc. when the skin might be exposed (her scene with [[Samuel Anders|Anders]] at the beginning of "[[The Farm]]", for example) as Christianity is not present in ''Battlestar Galactica''. Katee also has a tattoo of a Japanese character for "choice" on the back of her neck. In season one, they usually tried to avoid showing the back of Starbuck's neck in camera shots, but an observant viewer can still see it. As the show progressed into season two, Starbuck's hair grew longer and covered the tattoo, rendering it a moot point.

Katee's third tattoo is on her right forearm, just below the inner side of her elbow; consisting of the words "bona fiscalia". "Bona fiscalia" is Latin for "public property". This tattoo is actually visible in numerous episodes, and although they try to avoid it with the camera or have Katee tuck her arm slightly behind her in wide-shots, it is still present through the end of season 2 and has not been given an in-story explanation, such as how a phrase from an Earth-based language (Latin) could be present in the Twelve Colonies.
But ok, it's neither explained why they speak English, or even how these documentary videos got right through the galaxies on our tv.
