Jersey girl Kathy Derry may be best known for making you do your squats, lunges, pushups and jumping jacks as a fitness spokesperson and physical trainer on shows like Fitness Beach, The Firm: Firm Parts-Lower Body Sculpting (2000) and Co-ed Training, but she actually tried her hand in the acting realm for a few years prior to that. She made her screen debut on an episode of Fox’s four season cop drama New York Undercover, which was a bit ahead of it’s time for starring two POC leads, but got destroyed by stiff timeslot competition. But there was no competition in terms of giving us stiffies when Kathy made her big screen debut in West New York (1996). It’s a largely forgettable crooked cop drama starring the late Frank Vincent, who ended up playing Big Pussy on The Sopranos. In it, she basically appears as a woman drying herself off, although she’s wearing panties which doesn’t make much sense unless she dried her bottom and left her top half wet, with her high-set, perky, firm, suckaliscious Derry-makers hanging out for the whole world to see. Unfortunately, although the film was a hit at indie flick festivals across the country, it never saw the light of mainstream theater, and Kathy’s career in film sputtered. She only acted in two more movies, both in the year 2000. There was the indigenous fugitive flick Warpath, and the sales reps trying to use their work honed skills to pick up women drama Closing the Deal (2000). She’d probably want us to work out, but our cardio for the night will be milking the prostate to the unbelievable udders of Kathy Derry.
