Katherine Lee-Hinton | |
---|---|
Born | Katherine Lee 1974 or 1975 (age 49–50) [1]
Heidelberg, Germany

Nationality | American |
Education | Stone Mountain High School |
Occupation(s) | Flight attendant, flight attendant instructor for Delta Air Lines |
Years active | 1997–present |
Katherine Lee-Hinton, better known as Deltalina, [2] [3] [4] is an American flight attendant for Delta Air Lines and was one of the presenters of Delta's onboard safety videos. The first Deltalina safety video was released in February 2008 [5] [ unreliable source?] and became one of the most-watched videos on YouTube.
The Deltalina nickname came from YouTube viewers who, in the comments to the video, compared her looks to those of actress Angelina Jolie. [6]
Deltalina was born in Heidelberg, Germany to a military family and is of German ancestry on her father's side and Puerto Rican ancestry on her mother's side. An alumna of Stone Mountain High School, class of 1992, she was hired by Delta in 1997 upon her first attempt to join the airline. She resided in Melbourne, Florida in 1997 and Buckhead, Atlanta as of 2008. [6]
The original 2008 safety video made the news in the United States (for example, in USA Today, CNN, Wired), Netherlands ( De Telegraaf) [7] and Belgium ( De Standaard and Het Nieuwsblad), most articles noting that the unusual humor might make passengers pay more attention to the video. [8]
Martin Grant of Forbes wrote in 2012 that the Deltalina video was the first of the "next generation of safety video" and that the "talents" of Deltalina "largely helped" this. [9]
This video, however, was panned (in the book How to Do Things With Videogames) by Ian Bogost because, in Bogost's opinion, the attention that is paid to the videos is given to Lee-Hinton and not to the actual safety instructions, that the video made her into "a minor celebrity", that "In a weird historical inversion, this very much is your father's Pan Am." [10]

Lee was born in Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, to a Puerto Rican father (died in December 2013) and a German mother. Her father was in the military, and the family moved around a lot. Lee graduated from Stone Mountain High School in Metro Atlanta in 1992. [1]
