Her character has appeared on Multiple Australian Comedy Series including Fast Forward, Big Girl's Blouse and Something Stupid Before appearing on Kath & Kim.Kath is extremely proud of herself and her looks. She is confident; in fact the opening of Kath & Kim episode one features just Kath, herself, reflecting on herself and how proud she is of her looks and calls herself "high maintenance". Kath's daughter Kim is the opposite to Kath, overweight, lazy and rude. Kath has had her fair share of wild escapades throughout the show's episodes and has had a wide-range careers ranging from an actress to a real estate agent. In addition, during the season finale, Kath & Kel make their house into a Bed and breakfast named Kath & Kel's Kountry Kottage. Apart from this, she has failed to have a full-time job. Despite never having self imagery problems, Kath suffers feelings of sadness as she is four months older than husband Kel, feeling conscious of her age.Kath will return with Kath and Kimderella which is due to hit cinemas In 2012. Kath was born in 1954, and was married to Garry Poole from the late seventies. She lived in Fountain Lakes with Kim for year alone before meeting Kel, and the arrival of Brett and Epponee to the family. It was revealed during the series (after her marriage to Kel in a big wedding) that she was still married to Garry. They officially divorced and she married Kel legally this time after a two-year invalid stretch. Other than this, little is known about Kath's life.Kath also experiences problems with her age; feeling to old at sometimes as she is four months older than her husband Kel. Kath was a Tafe student graduate, and did a course in Real Estate. By the end of the series, Kim and her dramas got to be such a trouble to Kath, that Kath opted to move into Mandy (her next door neighbour's house) which was up for auction. She failed to auction off their own house, with Brett purchasing the house for $400,050. Kath is rarely seen being busy with Work - which can be anything for her. In season three Kath found work with Kel becoming actors for a 'High and Dry' commercial. They were later dropped because sales plummeted.
