Katherine Dee "KaDee" Strickland was born on December 14, 1977 in Blackshear, Georgia. She is an American actress.

KaDee's career began with a brief appearance as a ghost in The Sixth Sense in 1999, a two-line part. The same year, she served as an extra in the independent film The Sterling Chase. Strickland was cast in a slightly larger role opposite Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted.

She also acted in an episode of the television show Law & Order: Criminal Intent in December 2002 and made nine guest appearances on All My Children.

Strickland appeared in two romantic comedy films in 2003. Anything Else was written and directed by Woody Allen. The second, Something's Gotta Give was a major critical and commercial success, though Strickland's part in the film was brief.

Strickland's first lead role came when producer Doug Belgrad saw the dailies of her scene from Something's Gotta Give. Impressed by her work, he cast the actress in the jungle-set horror film Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, the sequel to Anaconda (1997).

She also has appeared in The Grudge (2004), The Flock (2007), American Gangster (2007) and television series "Private Practice" (9 episodes, 2007) and "The Wedding Bells" (2007).

She married Jason Behr in 2006.
