Kathy Ireland (b. 20 March 1963) is an American supermodel, actress, author, and entrepreneur, born in Santa Barbara, California. She once had a line of clothing sold by Kmart. For a while, she hosted a segment on viewer mail and fitness tips on TV's BodyShaping.
Kathy has numerous television and movie appearances to her credit, including roles in Side Out, Mr. Destiny, Loaded Weapon I and Necessary Roughness. She is the author of Powerful Inspirations: Eight Lessons That Will Change Your Life.
Although she once supported a liberal approach to abortion policy, Ireland switched her views after reading biology books owned by her physician husband. Now a pro-life activist, she challenged Bill Maher's position on abortion during an appearance on Politically Incorrect. Kathy has stated, "[A]t the moment of conception, a life starts. And this life has its own unique set of DNA, which contains a blueprint for the whole genetic makeup. The sex is determined. We know there's a life because it's growing and changing."
