Biography

American actress Sally Forrest went from high-school dance instructor to movie dancer in 1946 with her first film, Till the Clouds Roll By (1946). Forrest was briefly a protégé of actress/director Ida Lupino, who cast Forrest in Not Wanted (1949) and Hard Fast and Beautiful (1950); in the latter film Forrest delivered her best screen performance as a brilliant but emotionally cold-blooded tennis pro. Most of the actress' later performances were bland leading-lady types, though she was quite alluring as an inappropriately blonde Persian harem girl in Son of Sinbad (1955). Sally Forrest's last movie appearance was in Ride the High Iron (1957), which began life as a TV pilot film but was released theatrically when the pilot failed to sell. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Sally Forrest (born Sally Feeney, May 28, 1928, San Diego, California), is an American film actress of the 1940s and 1950s.

Forrest began her film career as a dancer in films in the 1940s before moving on to small film roles. After meeting director Ida Lupino, she was cast in a few of her films including Not Wanted and Hard Fast and Beautiful. After moving to New York with her husband, writer and producer Milo Frank, her film work all but stopped. She appeared in summer-stock theater and on Broadway appearing in shows such as The Seven Year Itch.

Forrest and her husband owned the former home of Jean Harlow and Paul Bern on Easton Drive, off Benedict Canyon Drive, Beverly Hills, California, when their tenant Jay Sebring was murdered at the nearby home of Sharon Tate.
