Cay Forrester (born Mila Patricia Crosby; December 26, 1921 – June 18, 2005) was an American film and television actress. She appeared predominantly in minor films with some exceptions, such as Advise and Consent and the Susan Hayward hit Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman.

Biography

Forrester made her debut as "Kay Forrester" in a 1943 Western called Blazing Guns. Her biggest role was in the 1950 cult classic DOA, where Forrester played a married woman who tempts Edmond O'Brien. Shortly after this film, she married producer Ludlow Flower, Jr., and retired from the big screen.

Forrester went on to write and co-star in the 1961 thriller Five Minutes to Live produced by her husband; it was notable for the rare big-screen appearance of Johnny Cash. The film was re-released in 1966 under the title Door-to-Door Maniac.

Forrester was guest-starring on television shows up to the early 1970s. Her final films were two major disaster films with Charlton Heston, Two-Minute Warning and Airport 1975.

Forrester died of pneumonia in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2005.
