March 3, 1926 – December 8, 1976

Catherine M. Downs worked as a model before becoming a Fox contract player in 1944; starring opposite Henry Fonda in My Darling Clementine (1946), and episodic roles on classic Westerns such as The Lone Ranger (1952) and Rawhide (1961). CDF aficionados will remember her from a pair of CDF classics — as Dorothy Chappel in THE SHE-CREATURE (1956), and Carol Forrest in THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN (1957)!
