Biography:A pretty, athletic leading lady with a refreshing down-to-earth quality, Cathy Downs worked as a model before signing a 20th Century-Fox contract in 1944. She was co-starred in several major Fox productions of the postwar years, and played the title role in John Ford's "My Darling Clementine" (1946). Inexplicably, however, her career degenerated after 1947 into lower-berth programmers and cheap horror films like She-Creature (1956) and "The Amazing Colossal Man" (1957). Cathy Downs was married to actor/producer Joe Kirkwood, with whom she appeared in the "Joe Palooka" TV series of the early 1950s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
