Career

Her early career included roles in films such as Godfather (2012), Madras (2014), Sarrainodu (2016), Nene Raju Nene Mantri (2017), and Kalakalappu 2. (2018).
Catherine Tresa was born in Dubai to Malay parents, Frank Mario Alexander and Tresa Alexander. She was raised a Christian. She completed her secondary education in Dubai before moving to Bangalore for further studies. While studying, she learnt to play piano, and got trained in singing, dancing, ice skating and debating, stating that she believes that she is "good at anything I put my mind to". Catherine worked as an Emirates Environment volunteer in Dubai. Catherine did some amateur modelling for fashion design graduate students when she was 14 years old. She modelled for Nalli Silks, Chennai Silks, Fast Track, Josco Jewellers, and Deccan Chronicle after moving to India. She has also shot for Srikantadatta Wodeyar's Maharaja Calendar and has appeared in numerous ramp shows across India with Prasad Bidapa.

Catherine made her acting debut in the Kannada film Shankar IPS in 2010, opposite Duniya Vijay. Catherine later appeared in Malayalam films such as The Thriller and Uppukandam Brothers: Back in Action. In 2011, she did a role in the Kannada film Vishnu that she said was "equally opposite to her real life".

It was followed by the Kannada film Godfather, directed by cinematographer turned film-maker Sethu Sriram and starring Upendra. Catherine played the role of an elderly mentally challenged woman in the film. Her performance earned her her first nomination for an award at the 60th Filmfare Awards South in the Best Supporting Actress category.

She then signed on to play "an urbane, bold, and dynamic girl" in Neelakanta's Chammak Challo. It was released in February 2013 and was a box office failure, but she was noticed and received positive reviews. APHerald.com called her "a treat to watch" and 123telugu.com noted that "she has the potential to be a superstar in future if she plays her cards right".

Catherine appeared in Puri Jagannadh's Telugu film Iddarammayilatho as one of the female leads. The film was released in June 2013 and received positive reviews. "Catherine Tresa perfectly suits the character of Akanksha," according to the Times of India. Shirirag.com called her "cigarette smoking hot" while Idlebrain Jeevi in his review noted "with a bit of fine-tuning she can become big in Telugu films".

Catherine next appeared in Paisa by Krishna Vamsi playing a Muslim in the film, "who is sweet, very inhibited and talks a lot with her eyes" and called it "a total contrast to what I play in Chammak Challo". She made her debut in the Tamil film industry in 2014 with Madras, in which she co-starred with Karthi. The second Tamil film is Kanithan, a S Thanu production directed by debutante Santosh in which she will star alongside Atharvaa. She then appeared in two Telugu films: Gunasekhar's Rudhramadevi, the first Indian 3D historical film, and Dasari Narayana Rao's Erra Bus.
