The Bold and the Beautiful News – Katherine Lang – Being A Soap Star Is Stressful
Lang admits that being a soap star can be stressful at times. Taking on an emotional and dialogue-heavy role is not always easy. The actress constantly finds herself on her toes. That includes memorizing up to 90 pages of script in one day. Lang relies on her strong memory skills to get the job done. She sinks in one page at a time. She uses her brain like a muscle that she needs to train in order to keep it at peak performance.
Lang was born into Hollywood royalty in 1961. Her father, Keith Wegeman, was known as the original “Jolly Green Giant” and her mother, Judith Lang, was a film and television star. Her grandfather, Charles Lang, worked for Paramount Studios and was one of the best cinematographers during the Old Hollywood era.
