Katherine "Kay" Corleone (née Adams) is a fictional character originating in Mario Puzo's 1969 novel The Godfather. Diane Keaton portrayed her in Francis Ford Coppola's film trilogy based on the novel.
Before their divorce, she is the second wife of Michael Corleone. She is also the mother of his children, Anthony and Mary Corleone. She has an abortion while pregnant with the couple's prospective second son. In contrast to most of the characters in the novel and films, Kay Adams is from a well-to-do White Anglo-Saxon Protestant family.
