Sally Forrest Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 27, 2015.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Sally Forrest, an actress-dancer who graced the silver screen throughout the '40s and '50s in MGM musicals and films such as the 1956 noir "While the City Sleeps," died March 15 at her home in Beverly Hills, California. She was 86 and had long battled cancer.

Her publicist, Judith Goffin, announced the news Thursday.

A San Diego native, Forrest became a protege of Hollywood trailblazer Ida Lupino, who cast her in starring roles in films including the critical and commercial success "Not Wanted," ''Never Fear" and "Hard, Fast and Beautiful."

She also starred in a Broadway production of "The Seven Year Itch."

Forrest married writer-producer Milo Frank in 1951. He died in 2004.

She is survived by her niece, Sharon Durham, and nephews, Michael and Mark Feeney.

To the family of Sally Forrest, so sorry to hear of your loss. May the prayers of family and friends comfort you.

John 11:33 says: "When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping and groaning, he groaned within himself and became troubled." Jesus expressed tears when his friend Lazarus died, he knows how it feels to lose a dead loved one and he understands what you and your family are experiencing. May this bring you and your family comfort in this time of need. cjp (fla.)

Dear Forrest Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Mrs. Sally Forrest who was blessed with 87 years of being strong.-Psalm 90:10 says "The span of our life is 70 years, Or 80 if one is especially strong." She was definitely a strong woman. May your hearts be filled with joyful memories of time spent with her as you remember a life well lived. May the hearer of Prayer give you strength and peace during your time of sorrow.
