Kathleen Case (born Catherine Walker, also credited Cathy Case, Kathy Case, and Cassie Case; July 31, 1933 – July 22, 1979) was an American film and television actress.[1]
Case was born in 1933 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. During her acting career she performed in films such as Human Desire (1954), Last of the Pony Riders (1953), and Running Wild (1955). She also appeared in a variety of American television series produced in the 1950s and early 1960s. Case, for example, was cast as Helen Crosby in the 1953 episode, "The Lady with the Blue Silk Umbrella" on the syndicated television anthology series, Death Valley Days, hosted by Stanley Andrews. In the storyline, Helen carries official California statehood papers in her umbrella to shield them from ruffians who want to destroy the documents. Rick Vallin played Lieutenant Bob Hastings, and Howard Negley (1898-1983) was featured in this episode as California pioneer John Bidwell.[2]
Personal life and death
Case was seriously injured in a power boat accident in February 1959 and was in the hospital for more than two months.
On February 5, 1967, Case was driving in Hollywood, California, when her car collided head-on with a vehicle driven by actor Dirk Rambo, the twin brother of actor Dack Rambo. A car fire resulted. Dirk Rambo was killed, and his passenger, Horace H. Hester, was seriously injured. A Los Angeles municipal court judge dismissed felony drunken driving and manslaughter charges against her two months later.
Case died in North Hollywood, California, shortly before her 46th birthday.
