Katharine McPhee stars in "Smash" on NBC as the talented-but-green Karen Cartwright.

Recently on television, McPhee co-starred in episodes of "CSI: NY," NBC's "Community" and "The Family Guy." She was also featured on two hit PBS specials, "Foster and Friends" and "Chris Botti in Boston," alongside Sting, Andrea Bocelli and John Mayer.
McPhee spent 2010 touring the country with her album "Unbroken," which included the hit single "Had It All." She released her first Christmas album in 2010, covering the yuletide classics, featuring an original Christmas song, "It's Not Christmas Without You," and climbed the charts with the top-five holiday hit "I'll Be Home for Christmas."
McPhee's self-titled debut album exploded onto the Billboard 200 chart in 2007 and landed at #2. It was also the best chart debut for a female artist in two years.
