Biography by AllMovie

Many filmgoers first caught delicately beautiful Georgian actress KaDee Strickland via her portrayal of Kristen, one of the vivacious young woman who accompany world-weary playboy Jack Nicholson at the outset of the Nancy Meyers romantic comedy Something's Gotta Give (2003). This marked the beginning of a long sequence of small roles for the rising star, in such A-listers as The Grudge (2004), Fever Pitch (2005), and The Flock (2007). On the small screen, in 2007, Strickland had a regular role on the very short-lived comedy drama The Wedding Bells, which she quickly followed up with another regular part, this time on the highly successful Grey's Anatomy spin-off, Private Practice, playing Dr. Charlotte King. That same year she could be seen on the big screen in American Gangster, and the next year she appeared in Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys.
