Katherine Henderson was the niece of Eva Taylor and Clarence Williams and came under their wing when she settled in New York in the early '20's. Katherine was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1909 where her career in show business began as a small child working in minstrel shows and on the vaudeville circuit. Katherine started out occasionally substituting for Eva Taylor on local New York radio stations, eventually performing in the Clarence Williams' musical review "Bottomland" and several other theatrical productions.
