Kate Collins, Natalie Marlowe on All My Children!

She is best known for playing the character of Natalie Marlowe on the ABC soap opera All My Children, a role she originated in 1985.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in Washington D.C., Collins is the eldest child of astronaut Michael Collins, who served as Command Module Pilot on the historic Apollo 11 mission (the first human Moon landing) in 1969. She studied theater at Northwestern University and graduated in 1981. She married Charles Newell, who is the Artistic Director of the Court Theatre in Chicago, in October 1992. They have two sons and live in Hyde Park, Chicago.

Wow! what a woman. Her intelligence, poise and beauty knocked my socks off. Being off the planet is a family trait.

My all-time favourite All My Children actress and character. The Natalie era was unmatched.

[@mrbrownroyyal]

I just heart Kate Collins! I was always drawn to her more so than any other actress on All My Children!

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

Me too! There is something just lovely about her, you can't take your eyes off her in a scene.

Wow... Never knew Michael Collins had such a beautiful actress daughter. Discovered her by accident today while exploring 50th Anniversary stuff on Apollo 11 and her Dad...

You rarely see Kate Collins in an interview this is a treat!

[@blujean158]

Ahhh...she is such a beauty 😍

[@sarrhodes8277]

I only heard about her because of her father. But from this interview she has such poise and projects such intelligence, wisdom - and decency - I can't understand why she's never been a big name or held an Oscar. She just seems tremendous. I have to watch what she's starred in.

She played Natalie on the soap opera All My Children for about eight years.

Did not know that Kate Collins was the daughter of Astronaut Michael Collins!

So many terrific AMC performers were rightfully honored with Emmy noms - and 17 of those performers ended up winning, some more than once - yet so many were truly snubbed of ever receiving a nomination. I can’t bring myself to change the two I have at the top of the list: Kate Collins and Robin Mattson. Natalie belonged to Collins, and Janet belonged to Mattson. [And thankfully Mattson has been honored with 4 noms, once for GH’s Heather and thrice for SB’s Gina.] Alphabetically, my top 10 most snubbed list is below [and a * is next to performers who, like Mattson, have been Daytime Emmy nominated for other series]… •John Callahan [Edmund] •Kate Collins [Natalie / Janet #1] •Marj Dusay [Vanessa]* •Michael B. Jordan [Reggie] •James Kiberd [Trevor] •Robin Mattson [Janet #2]* •Michael Nader [Dimitri] •Lynne Thigpen [Grace]* •Walt Willey [Jack] •Finn Wittrock [Damon]

Janet was NOT wrong about Natalie and Wilma! Sorry!!!!! They did treat her like absolute garbage.

She has her Father’s eyes
