Katherine Justice, a prolific television and film actress from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, was recently seen in Los Angeles. The 83-year-old, who has an extensive career spanning over 50 years, was spotted shopping at a Costco store.
Justice, recognizable for her former auburn hair, appeared with short gray hair during her outing. She was dressed casually in a white linen shirt over a navy graphic tee and tan pants. Amid a Southern California heatwave, she wore a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses while navigating the store's parking lot with a cart.
Born and raised in Ohio, Justice began her acting pursuits at Carnegie Tech Drama School, graduating in 1964. She initially immersed herself in theater, performing in various productions and joining a touring company by 1965. Her move to television came in 1966 with a guest role on the ABC Western series The Big Valley.
Her early career included a role in the 1967 film The Way West, where she appeared alongside Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, and Sally Field. Justice's first major leading film role was in the 1968 made-for-TV film Prescription: Murder, playing Joan Hudson opposite Peter Falk. This film later inspired the long-running Columbo television series. She also starred in the 1968 Western 5 Card Stud with Robert Mitchum and Dean Martin, and the 1975 made-for-TV movie Dead Man on the Run with Peter Graves.
While her filmography is notable, Justice is perhaps best known for her numerous guest appearances on popular television shows throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Her television credits include roles on Days of Our Lives, Dallas, Alien Nation, TJ Hooker, Falcon Crest, and Quincy, ME. She also worked with Sally Struthers in the 1981 thriller A Gun in the House. Justice retired from acting in 2015, with her last credited role in the web series The Nevermore Chronicles.
