Early life and family background

Katherine Pine ?
Posted by Chris Pain Thailand On Sunday, May 26, 2013
Her father is actor and producer Robert Pine, known for his performance in “CHiPs” playing Sergeant Joseph Getraer, and her mother is Gloria Gwynne Gilford, also a former actress, now a psychotherapist. She has a famous younger brother, Chris Pine, who gained worldwide fame as James T. Kirk in the 2009-2016 “Star Trek” film series, as well as Steve Trevor in “Wonder Woman”. The siblings come from a well-known family, as their maternal grandmother, Anne Gwynne, was also a name respected in Hollywood, and their maternal grandfather, Max M. Gilford, was a Jewish-Russian lawyer and a president of the Hollywood Bar Association.
She is of Native American descent and has Welsh, French, and English ancestry through her mother. She is of white ethnicity. Like her brother, not much is known about Katherine’s education, although the siblings grew up with their parents in California, so it is believed she completed high school, but it is unknown if she attended college. Certainly sources say that she was active in school plays and drama classes from her youngest days.
Career
Like her parents and brother, Pine tried to follow the acting path.
Her acting debut was in 1997 when she starred in a movie called “Heavy Gear”. This role opened up a plethora of new opportunities for her, besides doing voiceovers for the video game based on this movie. Next year, she appeared in an episode of the TV series “Love Boat: The Next Wave” alongside big names like Robert Urich and Phil Morris. She played the role of Rhonda, and despite this series not being well received by the critics, her acting was still noticed. In 1999, she co-starred in “CHiPs ’99” with her brother and her father, and her performance in the film was praised by critics and fans alike.
These three roles gave her a place in the industry and helped her make a name for herself. Despite the appreciation she received from fans and peers alike, she turned down later offers and retired from the entertainment industry completely before the start of the new millennium. After this brief try-out in Hollywood, she went on to study psychotherapy, following in the footsteps of her mother. According to some sourceshe graduated in 2005. As of 2020, she works as a licensed therapist in California, with the main goal of helping people with depression, anxiety and relationship problems.
She has not won any awards for her acting skills and it is not likely that she will act in films or series again anytime soon.
Overshadowed by her brother
After she retired from acting, it was rumored that she realized she was being overshadowed by her little brother and this caused her to withdraw from Hollywood. However, there is no evidence whatsoever of these allegations, and even if they were true, reliable sources close to the Pine family state that the siblings have a good relationship and a strong bond with each other.
Private life
Like her brother, Katherine keeps details of her private life out of the public eye. It is not even known if she is married or not as she only attends public events in the company of her brother. She has been seen on the street with some men, but it has never been confirmed if she had a romantic relationship with one or more of them. Pine currently lives modestly in New York, City, and is working hard to create her career away from the spotlight.
She is a big fan of fashion and can often be seen at many fashion events including award shows and fashion weeks. She is often confused with another actress of the same name, Katherine Heigl. The confusion lies in the fact that these two women have very similar facial features.
Pine is not active on social media, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Net value
As an actress, Pine made quite a profit on her own, despite it not being able to compare to what her little brother makes. She has also made a pretty penny as a psychotherapist. Reportedlyshe has a net worth of around $500,000.
Physical Characteristics
Charming and considered gorgeous, she has light brown hair and brown eyes and is quite tall, with a height of 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in). She weighs about 54 kg (120 lbs) and her vital statistics are 34-24-34.
