Career

[edit]

Kathleen Garrett recurs in the series Power Book II: Ghost on Starz![citation needed] and Inventing Anna on Netflix.[citation needed] She is also in The Trial of the Chicago 7 directed by Aaron Sorkin.[citation needed] She recurred on Law & Order as Judge Susan Moretti[citation needed] and several episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit[citation needed] as well as multiple guest star roles in other series.[citation needed]

Garrett performed in and co-produced the solo play, The Last Flapper by William Luce at the Tiffany Theatres in Los Angeles, receiving positive reviews.[1]

Garrett voiced the role of Pamela Voorhees in trailers for the 2009 Friday the 13th, causing a controversy. Betsy Palmer thought it was her own voice in the film and threatened to sue Paramount.[6] Paramount stated that it would be impossible to pull clean audio from the original film, since the dialogue was tied to music and sound effects, which is why they brought in Garrett to recite the iconic lines.

Garrett appeared in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode based on the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case, as a character based on Anne Sinclair, the then-wife of Dominique Strauss-Kahn.[7]

She continues to work in television, film, theatre, commercials and voice-overs.
