Catherine Grace Mirich came into the limelight as the celebrity child of the multi-award-winning actress Melinda Clarke. And if you haven’t seen any of Melinda’s films, you are missing out on pure unadulterated greatness.
Catherine was born on 4th January 2000 to Melinda Clarke and her ex-husband Ernie Mirich. Her grandparents are John Clarke and Patricia Lewis. She currently lives with her mother in an apartment complex in Ventura, CA.
Very little is known about her life as her parents have kept their personal lives private.
Catherine’s Father
Ernest Carl Mirich II is an American actor and director famously known for the film Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987). He was born on 9th March 1965 in the United States of America.
He has also made appearances in films such as Soldier of Fortune, Inc. (1997) and Bel Air (2000).
Ernie Mirich owns his own production company, which goes by Tattered Souls.
The “Show-Stealer” Mom
Melinda Patrice “Mindy” Clarke is an American actress famously known for portraying Faith Taylor’s character in the film drama Days of Our Lives (1989-1990). Not much is known about her early life, but her parents are John Clarke, an actor, and Patricia Lewis, a ballet dancer. Her father was also an original cast member of the Days of Our Lives soap opera.
In 2003, Mindy was cast in the teen drama series, The O.C. (2003 – 2007), which ran for four seasons, in which she portrayed the character, Julie Cooper. She also snagged a lead on the action thriller series Nikita (2010 – 2013).
Saying she has a unique acting talent would be an understatement. Mindy’s character in The O.C. placed her at No. 3 on the Entertainment Weekly’s list of “21 Top T.V. Bitches” in July 2009. T.V. Guide also ranked her 5th on the “T.V.’s Top Ten Scene Stealers” list in August 2005. And being a notable figure in the entertainment industry, Melinda Clarke has also graced magazine covers and pictorials of mammoth brands like In Touch Weekly, Regard magazine, and Fangoria.
And if, like me, you thought only superheroes and anime characters get action figures, then think again. Two action figures of Mindy were crafted after her role as Jessica Priest in Spawn (1997) and Valesca in Xena: Warrior Princess (1997).
The renowned fashion icon launched a weekly podcast in April 2021 together with her former The O.C. co-star Rachel Bilson. The podcast titled, Welcome to the O.C., Bitches, focuses on rewatching and discussing episodes of The O.C.
Family Life
Ernie married Melinda Clarke in 1997, but they later divorced in 2005. In September 2015, Mindy said “I Do” to Adam Farmer in a ceremony held in Dana Point, California.
Catherine Grace Mirich Net worth
Catherine’s net worth is not yet known, but she might still be dependent on her parents, given her young age. Her father’s net worth was estimated at six million U.S. dollars in 2021. On the other hand, Melinda Clarke has a net worth estimated at 3 million dollars as of 2021.
