Biography

Katherine LaNasa, a talented actress, former ballet dancer, and choreographer, was born in the vibrant city of New Orleans, Louisiana. Her early life was marked by a strong foundation in ballet, which she initially pursued as a career path. However, her academic journey took her to the prestigious North Carolina School of Arts in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where she honed her skills and expanded her artistic horizons. Additionally, she attended the renowned Neighbourhood Playhouse in New York, further solidifying her craft.

LaNasa's personal life has been just as fascinating as her professional journey. In 1989, she tied the knot with the legendary actor Dennis Hopper, with whom she had a son, Henry Hopper, also known as Henry Lee Hopper. The couple's marriage, however, came to an end in 1992. LaNasa then went on to marry French Stewart in 1998.

Throughout her career, LaNasa has appeared in a wide range of films and television shows. Her breakout role came in 2001 when she landed the lead part in the NBC sitcom Three Sisters, which unfortunately was canceled after just two seasons. She also starred in the short-lived TV series Love Monkey (2006) and 12 Miles of Bad Road (2008),as well as the NBC drama series Deception (2012),where she played the captivating and influential socialite Sophia Bowers.

LaNasa's impressive filmography boasts a number of notable titles, including Alfie (2004),Valentine's Day (2010),Jayne Mansfield's Car (2012),The Campaign (2012),and The Frozen Ground (2013).
