True Facts About Big Nose Kate, More Than Doc Holliday's Woman.
Why did they call her Big Nose Kate? Mary Katherine Haroney, the daughter of a doctor, was born in Hungary on November 7, 1850. When her father was appointed personal surgeon to the Emperor of Mexico, Kate and her family moved to North America. When Emperor Maximillian's rule abruptly ended, Kate's family moved to Davenport, Iowa. Unfortunately, both Kate's father and mother passed away when she was only 14 years old. By the age of 25, Kate took the name Kate Elder and was listed as a disco girl in Dodge City, Kansas. A few years later, Kate met the famous outlaw Doc Holliday at John Shanssey's Saloon in Fort Griffin, Texas. Over the past 60 years, Big Nose Kate has been portrayed in the media at least eight times. Ironically, none of the very attractive actresses who played Big Nose Kate had a particularly large nose.
