In The Gay Life with Katherine Linton
August 14, 2008 by James Hipps · Leave a Comment
Katherine Linton is best known to gay folk around the country from her time as the host of the long-running PBS series “In The Life.” Since then, she founded her own media company and has produced a series of documentaries focusing on gay life.
Originally from Westport, Connecticut, but now recently single and living in Brooklyn with her cat Popeye, Linton, 41, studied theatre at New York University and then went to Ringling Bros. Clown College. Afterwards, she joined the Big Apple Clown Care Unit and worked in municipal New York hospitals entertaining sick children.
After that came her time with “In the Life,” initially as host, but then with producing duties as well. Linton was asked by LOGO to create their first documentary, “The Evolution will be Televised,” but perhaps her most controversial and high impact project has been the series “Lesbian Sex and Sexuality,” also for Logo. Gay City News spoke to Linton as she prepared for the “series two” launch in September.
