. When Kate was 14 years old, in her life were significant changes
. In connection with the profession his father, the family moved to live in Italy. Get used to the new location was very difficult. Impacted the difference of cultures, lifestyles, isolation from friends and acquaintances, lack of language skills. 'I could say only two words:' buongiorno 'and' buonasera ', lack of communication was a colossal - recalls the actress. - First woman admitted to the Linguistic Lyceum, where the nuns taught. I was the only foreigner in the group, and no discount for me not to do. All subjects were taught in Italian. If I mispronounce words - quite classmate teased mercilessly.
