In the original news item about Kathryn being in negotiations to star in Moneyball it was mentioned in passing that she had signed with The Gersh Agency, having left WME back in April.
The other day (26th August 2010) Deadline.com reported that Kathryn has indeed signed with The Gersh Agency. A snippet from the piece.
GERSH has signed film and TV actress Heather Graham. Also Kathryn Morris, Henry Ian Cusick (Lost), and writer/director Daryl Wein & Zoe Lister-Jones (Breaking Upwards) who sold their original comedy pitch And Motherf***cker off a logline Sunday night to Fox Searchlight.

I know a lot of people reach this site whilst looking for information about whether UK satellite TV station Sky 1 will be showing Cold Case Season 7. Hopefully this will be of some use to them.
It’s been a quite a few months since I last looked into if/when Sky 1 would be showing Cold Case series 7 so I posed the question to Sky’s Viewer Relations department again. Previously the response has been along the non-committal lines of “Sky 1 has no plans at present to show it”.
Now, however, the answer has changed to “Sky 1… will not be airing series 7 of Cold Case” citing the reason of “other programming commitments.” Which I guess means that the show has been dropped in favour of other new shows.
Cold Case has been a regular (sometimes several times a day) on Sky 1 and its sister channel Sky 2 for the past few years. The broadcaster’s free-to-air channel, Sky 3, has also regularly carried older series of Cold Case, with series 6 coming to an end in the next week or so.
If Sky 1 doesn’t broadcast S7 then it is unlikely that Sky 3 will. Searches of Sky schedules across all channels show no episodes of Cold Case airing in the coming month once Sky 3 have completed S6.
If you have any further information on CC S7 being shown in the UK on any channels please let us know.
It is being widely reported (Empire Online, Comingsoon.net, The Hollywood Reporter, New York Magazine amongst others) that Kathryn is in negotiations to star in a new movie called Moneyball.
The movie is an adaptation of the book Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis, a non-fiction telling of the story of Billy Beane as he puts together the Oakland A’s baseball team on a limited budget.
Brad Pitt will star as the lead character, Billy, with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright amongst the big stars already signed-up for the film. Kathryn is being earmarked for the role of the Mrs Beane, Billy’s second wife.
Filming starts today (12 July 2010) and is due for release next year (2011).
As an aside it would appear that since leaving the WME agency in April Kathryn has signed with The Gersh Agency. Hopefully the move will lead to more roles.
More news as we find it.
Update: I’ve spent a bit of time trying to pull together some information on the movie Moneyball. You’ll find what I found after the jump. Quite a tale it is too.

It looks like the answer is “bust”. Never thought saying that in relation to Kathryn would be as depressing as it is 
It is being reported by the Premiere.fr website that Kathryn’s attendance at the Monte Carlo Television Festival, previously reported on KM UK here, has been cancelled. The article in question can be found here in its original French form and English with a Google translation here.
This a great shame. I was greatly looking forward to bringing you news and images of Kathryn enjoying herself in the South of France. OK, I really wanted to see the photos myself, but sharing them with you all would have been good too No reason is given for Kathryn’s withdrawal but the fact that Cold Case has not been renewed for an 8th season may play a part.
Thanks to zoé for the heads-up and the good people at Hypnoweb for the links.
It appears that the Sun Safety Alliance (SSA) backed campaign to promote UV protection awareness is back on for 2010.
We first heard about this last year (here and here). Kathryn, along with Desperate Housewives actress Andrea Bowen, was to be a spokesperson for the campaign and would endorse a t-shirt line. Kathryn even did a photoshoot for the t-shirts. Things seemed to get delayed and as we got further into the summer it all went very quiet. I guess there’s little point launching such a campaign late in the summer.
The Ayana Apparel online store now has a Kathryn Morris endorsed t-shirt available for purchase. The illustrative photo, seen on the right, from the website can now be found in the Gallery. That’s a lovely photo, t-shirt or no t-shirt 
I have requested more information on this and will post updates with anything I find out.
No!
It has finally been announced, though not quite officially by CBS, that Cold Case will not be renewed for another season. Unfortunately it comes as no great shock, but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing to hear.
Jonathan Littman, an executive producer on many Bruckheimer shows, sent this Tweet earlier:
Rainy day brings gloomy news with COLD CASE and MIAMI MEDICAL not being renewed. A great run on one and a way too short run on the other. – Link
With CBS picking up 4 new drama series yesterday (Hawaii 5-0, Defenders, Blue Bloods and a Criminal Minds spin-off) something had to go to make room.
Let me reiterate what I said in my earlier piece about Cold Case past, present and future: Thank you to all involved in making 7 seasons of a great show. Best wishes for the future to everyone.
Update: Jeremy Ratchford (Nick Vera on Cold Case) has posted a comment on IMDb thanking all the fans for watching these past 7 seasons. You can read it here.
Update 2: CBS have announced their fall schedule. Cold Case is not on it. See here and here.
Remember the green dress Kathryn wore at the The Buzz Girls Timeless Style Fashion Show event? Of course you do. Well, now you can buy it. We are talking about the actual dress that Kathryn wore on the catwalk, as seen in photos previously posted here.
The Trésor de Vintage emerald green, 1950s party dress is up for auction with 50% of the proceeds going to The Joyful Heart Foundation. You can find the sale here on eBay. Place your bids now!
Whilst on this subject I’ve added a set of screencaps and a small “Maximum Morris” video from a TV Guide video of the event to the Gallery. Thanks to mhhope for posting the video.
Update: The original auction closed and it has been re-listed starting at the lower price of $200 (US), here.
Update 2: The second auction closed last week and the dress has been re-listed yet again at the same $200 price. See here.
Can’t I have both?
It has been announced that Kathryn will be attending the Monte Carlo Television Festival, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The event is happening from the 6th to the 10th of June 2010. An article on Excessif.com lists Kathryn amongst names added to the roster of stars scheduled to appear.
In interviews Kathryn did the last time she was at the TV Festival (in 2007) she was talking about the Cold Case season prior to the one that had just finished airing in the US. I don’t know where French TV is in the series now, maybe there to promote seasons 6 or 7. Perhaps some of our French friends can enlighten us. Of course this will happen be after we have learnt about the fate of Cold Case season 8, which we should discover within the next week.
On The Bonnie Hunt Show recently Kathryn said she was planning a holiday in France Tuscany with her best friend. Which puts her just along the coast from Monaco. I wonder if this follows that.
A quick Google translation of the Excessif.com article is after the jump.
Thanks to Karen for the heads-up.
