Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kathy O' is a 1958 American comedy-drama film, directed and co-written by Jack Sher and starring none other than Patty McCormack. Yes, the very same one from The Bad Seed, right down to the pigtails!As you'll probably gather from looking over at that poster image, this film is a great departure from that one. But, anyhow...Kathy O'Rourke (McCormack) is a child actress who often portrays sweet little girls in movies, but off-screen, she is anything but and acts like a spoiled brat. Publicity agent Harry Johnson (Dan Duryea) is hired with the task to not let word out of her disagreeable behavior to his ex-wife columnist, Celeste Saunders (Jan Sterling). Meanwhile, the insistence that Kathy make an appearance at the Christmas parade has made her more irritable, so Harry and Kathy make a deal that she'll act nice for Celeste in exchange for being pulled out of said parade. The deal leads to an unexpected friendship between Kathy and Celeste... so much so that the former runs away to be with the latter, causing Harry to be suspected of kidnapping.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Kathy O' / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: A very BIG one towards The Bad Seed which starred the same actress. The fact that they look very similar from the pigtails to the dresses they wore is the entire point and the movie lulls you at first into thinking that she's just as nasty as the evil little girl from the first movie. And then the movie portrays her a bit more sympathetically during the second half and most importantly, she gets her pigtails chopped off as if to drive home to the audience that Patty McCormack is NOT Rhoda Pembroke. | |

Becoming the Mask: Originally, her being nice to Celeste was all an act but the more they hung out together, the more she began to genuinely like being with her because Celeste treated her like a kid, not a star. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Kathy O' / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Kathy becomes a much happier child in the end as Harry finally understood her, found a friend in Celeste, and even more friends in the form of Harry and Helen's children. | |
