During the same period, the well-known model showed a remarkable business acumen, it founded the brand KiWW, which later gave it ten million dollars of annual turnover.

Career in cinema

On the big screen Kathy Irland appeared in 1985, in the movie "Charles in the answer." The role was episodic and brought the beginning actress disappointment. The next attempt to conquer Hollywood took place in 1988, in a fantastic film "Alien from Los Angeles," directed by Albert Payan. This time Kathy Irland played the main role. Her character, a bore-loser Wanda, herself unwittingly, falls into a whirlpool of adventures, from which there is no way out.

A small but significant role

One of the brightest images created by K. Irland is character Ember Hatton, a second-level paramedic in the television series "Strong Medicine", which was on the screen from 2002 to 2006. The film raises the issue of class inequality, as well as the pressing health problems of the United States. In the course of the story there is a clear feminist focus, especially as critics have pointed out, the series was created by "women for women."

One of the main roles was played by the famous actress Whoopi Goldberg, who at one time was famous for radical methods in the struggle for equal rights of the weaker sex. Leading roles in the series were performed by Patricia Richardson, Rosa Blazy, Janine Turner and Tammy Ader. These actresses were also supporters of feminism.

Hereland himself maintained moderate political views when it came to the equality of women in American society.

Perhaps, because of political poignancy, the series was on the first line of the rating for a long time.

Personal life

In her private domain, the actress does not allow strangers, rightly believing that other people's interest in the existence of celebrities is, as a rule, unhealthy. Interview with the popular Irland gives, but very carefully and selectively. Chances to learn something about the personal life of Irland are only the correspondents of the central magazines and newspapers, who are accustomed to be responsible for every word they say. The actress does not take payment for the interview, it affects her craving for charity.

In August 1988, Katie Airland married artist Greg Olsen, with whom he lives happily to this day. The couple have three children: two daughters, Lily (1998), Chloe (2003) and son Eric (1994).

The heirs of the actress help the mother in her charity projects.
