Judith Evelyn (March 20, 1913, Seneca, South Dakota - May 7, 1967, New York City, New York) was an American stage and film actress.
Evelyn appeared on Broadway in the following plays:
- The Shrike as "Ann Downs" (January 15, 1952 - May 31, 1952)
- Harriet Craig (February 12, 1947 - April 12, 1947)
- The Rich Full Life (November 9, 1945 - December 1, 1945)
- Angel Street as "Bella Manningham"
Three of the four plays (the excluded one being the unsuccessful The Rich Full Life) were made into films, but Evelyn did not appear in any of them. Angel Street became far more famous on film as Gaslight, which starred Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. Craig's Wife was filmed three times, first in 1928, then in 1936, starring Rosalind Russell. It was re-written and remade somewhat more successfully in 1950 as Harriet Craig, starring Joan Crawford.
Evelyn also appeared in numerous films, probably most memorably (if not by name) as the lonely alcoholic spied on by Jimmy Stewart in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window.
Evelyn died from cancer, in New York City, on May 7, 1967. She was 54 years old. She was interred at the Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, Westchester County, New York.
