[edit] Complete Character Biography
Katherine Wentworth is the daughter of the former Rebecca Barnes by her second husband, Herbert Wentworth. The Wentworths were a wealthy, Houston-based family. Katherine was trying her hand as a reporter in New York prior to meeting her half-siblings, Cliff and Pam Barnes. Following her mother's death in 1983, Katherine permanently relocated to Texas, typically shuttling between Dallas and Houston, to maintain an interest in her father's industries.
Katherine and Cliff never got along; she resented his interest in her father's hard-built company. Katherine became obsessed with Bobby, her brother-in-law, and conspired with JR Ewing to break them up. Her efforts were successful, but in the process, she slept with JR and alienated both Bobby and Pam. In 1984, she shot Bobby Ewing and attempted to poison him a few weeks later. She skipped bail following her arrest.
- In 1985, Katherine hired Naldo Marchetta to kidnap Charlie and force Jenna to marry him, in order to keep her from marrying Bobby Ewing. She also hired André Schumann to kill Naldo and frame Jenna for the crime. She then returned to Dallas and stalked Pam and Bobby, electing to kill Pam by running her down when it became apparent she would reunite with Bobby. Bobby saved Pam and was himself killed, as was Katherine.
- Editor's Note: Although the events outlined above involving Schumann, Naldo, and Jenna occurred in canon (i.e., not in the dream season), Katherine's part in them is only stated during the Dream Season. Additionally, the portion of DALLAS that reveals the blonde stalker as Katherine is during Pam's dream, which begins after her night of passion with Bobby near the end of Swan Song).
In 1987, she briefly returned to Dallas and may have helped Pam escape the hospital after a severe accident left Pam nearly unrecognisable. She has not been seen since, and is still wanted for the 1984 shooting of Bobby Ewing....
