"I believe that the obstacles we encounter in our lives are there to demonstrate how badly it is we want something.”
- Katy Sullivan
Katy Sullivan is a gifted actress, a paralympic athlete and an inspirational story for everyone. You may recognize her as the feisty redhead on "My Name Is Earl" or maybe you have heard her sing the National Anthem ... but she is something special on those 'sexy, titanium Terminator legs' as she holds her status as the current U.S. Paralympic Champion in the 100M Race. "I was born without legs and have worn prosthetic legs all of my life. I was raised in Alabama and spent my early years trying to be just like my siblings, flipping around in gymnastics and practicing three times a week with the local swim team. Sports became frustrating because it was hard for me to keep up with the other kids so I turned all of my energy into becoming an actor," said Sullivan. "My performing career has taken me all over the country. I have worked on stage in Chicago, in movies in New York, on different television series in Los Angeles, and even had the opportunity to sing at the 1996 Olympic opening ceremonies in Atlanta." “Working in television, movies and independent films in Los Angeles keeps me very busy," continued Sullivan. "Recently, I appeared on the television series “My Name Is Earl” on NBC, and starred in an independent film, which is now on the film festival circuit., and I am working on producing my own sitcom." Katy Sullivan is also an athlete and a fierce competitor in the Paralympic 100M races as a member of Team USA. Katy will be competing in the London 2012 Paralympic Games. When Sullivan moved to Los Angeles in 2004, it brought her not only tremendous opportunity with acting but it also brought Sullivan the opportunity to meet Will Yule, Certified Prosthetist at Hanger Prosthetics. Katy Sullivan was gifted a pair of running legs from Hanger, and a new chapter in her life was created. "Through the generous support of Hanger Prosthetics, I received custom made running legs built especially for my body. In my new carbon fiber sprinting legs I began to compete at a higher level and started to excel in the competitive world of physically challenged track and field," shared Sullivan, a world record breaker in her paralympic competitions. Since there are not that many other bilateral-above-knee women competing at this time, Katy Sullivan will have to compete against women who have one sound leg and one amputated leg above the knee.
