Discuss Book's answer to: Kato's Girlfriend

I was told the old Green Hornet TV series casted a woman that played Kato's girlfriend. Is this true? What was the actress's name? I recently learned she was mother to a gal I knew who recently passed ...

Book Answered:

I don't recall Kato having a girlfriend. In fact, unlike Batman, which had a number of interesting female heroes & foes, Green Hornet was mostly a sausage fest. The only regular female character was Lenore Case, Britt Reid's secretary.

The show only lasted 1 year, and they didn't really have time to develop much in the way of romantic story lines. Besides, TV execs didn't consider Kato anything more than a token sidekick. Little did they know that Bruce Lee would give the show long-term significance.
