Umm, Did We Know That Kat From ‘The Bold Type’ Is Also From ‘The Saddle Club’?
Hello world, indeed.
Listen, The Bold Type is currently the best thing on television. It’s about three millennial friends who work at a fashion magazine in New York City and they are friends, and I’m obsessed with it.
It’s like Younger, but everyone is actually… younger, and they work in media instead of publishing. They spend their days juggling their careers with things like dating and sexuality and gun control laws — I dunno, it’s pretty great.
There’s Jane, who is terrible, and who is a writer (all writers on TV are terrible). There’s Sutton who is wonderful, who works in the fashion department. And then there’s the queen of us all, Kat, who is the bi-racial, bisexual director of social media at Scarlet Magazine.
Kat is played by Australian actress Aisha Dee, which is just cool in itself. She has a flawless American accent and it’s cool to see homegrown talent in literally the best TV show in the world.
Oh, and it’s also exciting because she’s AUSTRALIAN TV ROYALTY, having starred on The Saddle Club, the show that launched an entire nation of horse girls.
According to her IMDB page, her career began in 2008 when she got the role of Desi Biggins in season 3 of The Saddle Club.
The official Saddle Club website describes Desi as:
“A pretty, rather sweet upper class girl. She’s been a member of a Pony Club since she was little and now that her family has moved to Willow Creek she can spend even more time on her beloved hobby. Desi, like Veronica and Carole, is an only child.”
She also apparently sings, although it’s weird that there are no horses in this video clip.
Anyway, Kat was already a lot of people’s favourite character in The Bold Type, but now I feel like patriotically, it’s our national duty to choose her, no matter how funny Sutton is.
Learning Aisha Dee (Kat) was in the Saddle Club just reaffirmed the fact that she’s my favorite Bold Type.
