There’s a buzz in the air, and it’s all about the new cast of Dancing With the Stars season 28.

In a candid conversation with Closer Weekly at the DWTS cast reveal event at Planet Hollywood, Kate opened up about what she’s bringing to the table—and it’s not just her infectious charm.
When asked what her biggest strength would be during the competition, the 55-year-old actress didn’t hesitate to joke around. “I think my hot body and my beautiful face,” she quipped, sparking laughter. But as she continued, her true spirit shone through. “No, seriously, my tenacity. I’m here to tell everyone that no matter your age, you should keep showing up. Don’t count yourself out too early. Life’s too short for that.”
