Early life Edit

Forrest was born in San Diego[2] to Michael and Marguerite (née Ellicott) Feeney. Her father was a U.S. Navy career officer who moved his family to various naval bases, finally settling in San Diego. He and his wife later became ballroom dancers and taught dance classes, where their daughter began learning her lifelong craft.[3]

Career Edit

Forrest began her film career in the 1940s as a chorus dancer in MGM musicals.[1] She made her acting debut in Not Wanted (1949), written and produced by Ida Lupino. Its controversial subject of unwed motherhood was a raw and unsentimental view of a condition rarely explored by Hollywood at the time. Forrest starred in two more Lupino projects, Never Fear (1949) and Hard, Fast and Beautiful (1951), as well as other films noir, including Mystery Street (1950), directed by John Sturges, and the star-studded While the City Sleeps (1956), directed by Fritz Lang.[1] Her musical background and training as a jazz and ballet dancer brought roles in the transitional musicals that rounded off the golden age of MGM; most notable Excuse My Dust and The Strip.

In 1953, after moving to New York with her husband, writer and producer Milo Frank (who was hired to be head of casting for CBS), her film work transitioned to theatre and TV. She starred on Broadway in The Seven Year Itch, and appeared in major stage productions of Damn Yankees, Bus Stop, As You Like It and No No Nanette.[4] Later she returned to Hollywood and continued working at RKO and Columbia Pictures. Her final film was RKO's While the City Sleeps in 1956, a film noir co-starring Dana Andrews, Rhonda Fleming, Vincent Price and her frequent collaborator Ida Lupino.

Personal life Edit

Forrest married Milo Frank in 1951.[5] They had no children and remained wed until his death in 2004.[6]

Forrest and Frank were owners of the former Benedict Canyon home of Jean Harlow and Paul Bern on Easton Drive in Beverly Hills. They rented it to Jay Sebring prior to his murder at the nearby home of Sharon Tate.[7]

Forrest died of cancer on March 15, 2015, aged 86, at her home in Beverly Hills, California.[4]
