In 1971, Fitch made her acting debut in the stage play Boeing, Boeing for the Le Barn Rouge in Jackson, Mississippi as Barbara, a German stewardess.[3] For the remainder of the year, she would continue acting in productions for the Le Barn Rouge Theatre. From September 21 through October 16, Fitch acted in the play Private Lives as Sibyl.[3][4] Critic Billy Skelton praised her performance as Sibyl, writing: "Kathie Everett is splendid as the pouty, pert, pretty Sibyl, the unfortunate girl who has just married Elyot."[5] From October 26 through November 13th, she acted in Lo and Behold as Minnetonka Smallflower.[6]
Fitch had her mainstream film debut as a clinical patient in Alan Abel's comedy mondo film Is There Sex After Death? (1971), which featured Abel, Buck Henry, Holly Woodlawn, and Robert Downey Sr. in leading roles.[1] While her role was a bit part, it was Fitch's first experience on a film set.[1] In a marketing publicity stunt, Abel advertised the fictitious "Sex Olympics" that would air on live television—Fitch and her husband were heavily involved in the hoax by acting as contestants.[7] Fitch later portrayed Lydia in the musical By Hex (1972) for the Mountain Playhouse in Jennerstown, Pennsylvania.[8] Fitch's performance received acclaim: Dorothy Kantner of Daily American wrote that Fitch "certainly proves her professionalism."
