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.
