As a child, Kathleen's mother nicknamed her Buttercup. Years later, one of the Sunset Beach property masters gave Kathleen the same nickname, without ever knowing that she had the same nickname as a child.
Although she was a member of the Knots Landing for 3 years, Kathleen was not asked to be part of the show's reunion movie in 1997. She says that she "didn't feel snubbed" when her character, Claudia, was left out.
Kathleen: (on her 1987 Emmy win) I was thrilled beyond belief. I can remember bolting out of my chair like Rocky, then proceeding to go up the steps and losing my shoe. My knees were shaking so much that I couldn't get my shoe on because I had nothing to hold onto. If Jean LeClerc [ex-Jeremy, All My Children] hadn't come over to me from the podium, I'd still be there.
Kathleen: (after "Sunset Beach" was cancelled) It doesn't mean I'm stepping away from daytime. I love daytime. I have always loved daytime. And if daytime calls again, I'll be there!
Kathleen: (on her on-screen love interests) You have to find something to love in them [in order] to do love scenes and form a relationship. I've always had wonderful co-stars.
