Biography

Elle joue pour la première fois en 1906 à Broadway, où elle se produit dans des pièces jusqu'en 1945 (et une comédie musicale en 1925).

Citons Miss Lulu Bett de Zona Gale (1920-1921, avec Louise Closser Hale et Willard Robertson), The Royal Family de George S. Kaufman et Edna Ferber (1927-1928, avec Otto Kruger), Topaze de Marcel Pagnol (1930, avec Harry Davenport et Frank Morgan), ou encore Oh, Brother! de Jacques Deval (sa dernière pièce à Broadway, 1945, avec Lyle Bettger, Hugh Herbert et Arleen Whelan).

Au cinéma, elle débute (également sous son nom de naissance) dans cinq films muets sortis en 1915 et 1916, avant un dernier en 1923 (le serial The Steel Trail de William Duncan, avec le réalisateur et Edith Johnson).

Accaparée par le théâtre, Catherine Doucet ne revient ensuite à l'écran qu'après l'avènement du parlant, avec vingt-sept autres films américains sortis à partir de 1933. Citons Et demain ? de Frank Borzage (1934, avec Margaret Sullavan et Douglass Montgomery), Ils étaient trois de William Wyler (1936, avec Miriam Hopkins et Joel McCrea), Ève a commencé d'Henry Koster (1941, avec Deanna Durbin et Charles Laughton), ainsi que Ma femme et ses enfants de Claude Binyon (1948, avec Claudette Colbert et Fred MacMurray). Son dernier film est Histoire de détective du même Wyler (avec Kirk Douglas et Eleanor Parker), sorti en 1951.

Puis elle apparaît encore à la télévision, dans trois séries dédiées au théâtre, en 1953 et 1954.
