She's very charming, charismatic and sexy in very specific way. She is certainly not a classical star. Every character she played so far was kind of unusual, mainly regarding character's sexuality. She didn't play so many roles but even for that amount is kind of impressive that none of them were just regular straight folks.

She was definately awesome in Law & Order SVU where she played transsexual. But her most amazing character so far is without any doubts Shane from The L Word. I think that the way she playes her is certainly unique. She is so persuasive and is able to include a character changes very well. Anyway, I have to say that I just love her in that role.

A lot has been said about Katherine's sexual orientation. She has never answered this question directly since she claims that her privacy is very important and she doesn't want to have media involved in her private life in that way. I'm a huge supporter of this idea. And I would say that this is quite good marketing move since if she would say that she's straight a lot of lesbian hearts will be broken. And if she's not, well, good for her. Heh. Although she didn't express herself clearly so far, I think she became one of the lesbian icons of the present.
