Fictional biography

Born in 1922, she is the long-term girlfriend and eventual wife of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), the son of Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando), and the future Godfather. As a non-Italian, she is somewhat of an outsider from the beginning and symbolizes Michael's initial desire to live a more Americanized life, in contrast to the Corleone family's criminal enterprises. (A deleted scene shows Kay and Michael in bed together; an undeleted scene shows them dining together in a hotel room: these scenes, and others involving Sonny, make clear the double standard that regulates Sicilian-American life.)

After Michael kills two men who tried to assassinate his father in 1946, he and Kay are separated while he takes refuge in Sicily, where he briefly marries a local virgin, Apollonia (Simonetta Stefanelli). Apollonia is accidentally killed by a car bomb intended for Michael. He returns to The United States a year later, when he and Kay reunite and marry.

Kay is still very isolated from the decisions Michael makes as the new Don. At the beginning of The Godfather, Part II (set in 1958-59), Kay, who is pregnant, implores Michael to fulfill his promise of legitimizing the family business. Michael makes a sincere effort to break the family's criminal ties, but his escalating war with rival Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg) keep him trapped in the criminal underworld and in his personal obsession with revenge. During one of Michael's trips, Kay has an abortion, fearing that another male heir would tie the family to the Mafia forever. While she initially tells Michael that it was a miscarriage, she is increasingly repulsed by the campaign of murder and terror he wages in his war with Roth, and she reveals the truth to him during an argument.

In The Godfather, Part III (set in 1979-80), Kay and Michael have not been in contact for several years, and Kay has remarried. Michael has extracted himself from criminal enterprises and has even sold the casinos, and he has been given an honor comparable to knighthood by the Pope, in recognition of his charitable work. After an uneasy reunion, the two reconcile their differences and begin to rekindle their relationship after Michael retires and appoints his nephew Vincent (Andy Garcia) the new Don. Michael reluctantly consents to permit their son,Tony, to become an opera singer. (Conveniently, he is a tenor. The plan to see his operatic debut, in Palermo.)
