Achieve Stardom About Kaitlin

In the same year, she appeared in “Catch Me If You Can,” a biographical crime film directed by Steven Spielberg and staring Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio. She was selected in supporting roles for films including “The TV Set,” “Waiting…”, and “Accepted” within a few years.
Cavermen, an ABC sitcom in 2007, featured her as a series regular. Regrettably, the show was canceled within a month due to unfavorable reviews.

Harvey Weinstein Interaction
In her guest column for ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ on December 8, 2017, Kaitlin Doubleday recounted her personal experience with alleged sexual abuser Harvey Weinstein at the age of 25 in 2009. She encountered him for the first time at the première of his film “Inglorious Basterds,” accompanied by her sister Portia Doubleday, who had previously appeared in one of his films, “Youth in Revolt.” Besides promising to provide her with a copy of her sister’s film, which she had yet to view, he had already made a favorable first impression on her.
Nevertheless, capitalizing on this circumstance, he organized a few encounters with her at the Montage Beverly Hills. Despite having prior knowledge of rumors suggesting that he engaged in sexual harassment of women, Kaitlin insisted on meeting him because she was experiencing professional difficulties and “wanted to believe he was simply acknowledging the talent I perceived in myself.” During their supper, he extended an invitation for her to accompany him to his room, where they could view footage and collaborate on the fitting conclusion to “Nine.” She discussed in her article the reasons she chose to proceed with him despite being aware of his desires.
As she puts it, “As we age, women have fewer opportunities,” “earn less money,” and “are torn apart and judged by our appearances”; therefore, “it can be tempting to enter the one [door] that remains open.” She described how, following a brief conversation about literature and film, he continued to make profane demands, such as receiving a message after he bathed. Although she ultimately declined his proposal, she continues to make light of the fact that she could have ‘Oscars’ exhibited in her home if she had said “yes” at that moment.
