Biography

Kate's illustrious career in the entertainment industry has spanned nearly her entire life, with appearances in numerous beloved TV shows, films, and theatre productions in both Australia and the UK. Born to actor parents Reg Gorman and Judith Roberts, Kate grew up with a unique perspective on the industry, often finding herself under a dressing room table or in TV studios.

Her first foray into television was at the tender age of six, when she landed a role on the popular Australian drama series "The Sullivans" in 1976. Her father, Reg Gorman, played the character Jack Fletcher, providing Kate with a firsthand glimpse into the world of acting. Throughout her childhood, Kate worked alongside her family on numerous projects, including the 1988 film "A Cry in the Dark," in which she played her father's on-screen daughter.

As she entered her teenage years, Kate began to make a name for herself in the industry, securing the lead role in the Australian TV series "Zoo Family" at just 15 years old. This early success paved the way for her iconic role as Sue Parker on the popular Australian soap opera "Neighbours" in 1985. Thirty years later, Kate would revisit this character, demonstrating her enduring talent and dedication to her craft.

In addition to her acting career, Kate has also ventured into directing, making her feature film debut with "Five Moments of Infidelity" in 2006. This critically acclaimed film, which Kate wrote and directed, won numerous awards, including best film at the DIGI SPAA and critics' choice at the Salento Film Festival in Italy. Her documentary "The Face of Birth" (2012),which she co-wrote, co-directed, and co-produced, has been translated into 15 languages and distributed in 17 countries, further solidifying her reputation as a talented and versatile filmmaker.

In her personal life, Kate is married with three children, including her eldest daughter, Olivia Deeble, who has followed in her mother's footsteps and is also an accomplished actress.
