Ms. Freeman (1923-2001), star of stage, television and screen, was a favorite acting and comedy instructor at the Donna Reed Workshops. Students are nominated based on Kathleen's unique personality and work ethic. Commitment. Passion. Willingness to try anything. Unfailing aid to fellow performers. High energy. Good humor. Eagerness. This award is for more than talent or appearance. It is for that special quality that defines the performing artist's mentality.
