context_page_description: Judith Evelyn was an American-Canadian stage and film actress who appeared in around 50 films and television series.
context_section_description: Evelyn worked on radio both for the British Broadcasting Corporation and for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. 
  Her early stage experience included being a member of a Canadian Chautauqua unit in 1932. The next year, she performed with the Pasadena Community Playhouse in California.
  Evelyn appeared on Broadway in the following plays:
  The Shrike as Ann Downs (January 15, 1952 – May 31, 1952)
  Craig's Wife (February 12, 1947 – April 12, 1947) (revival)
  The Rich Full Life (November 9, 1945 – December 1, 1945)
  Angel Street as Bella Manningham (December 5, 1941 – December 30, 1944)
  All of the four plays were made into films, but Evelyn did not appear in any of them. She did appear in other films, including as Miss Lonelyhearts, the lonely alcoholic spied on by James Stewart in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window. In 1956, Evelyn played the role of Nancy Lynnton in George Stevens' Giant. She also had a brief performance as Queen Mother Taia in Michael Curtiz's The Egyptian, and was featured with Vincent Price in The Tingler (1959).
  In the fall of 1958, Evelyn guest-starred as Clara Keller, a lonely widow who falls prey to communist agents in the episode "Man in the Moon" of Bruce Gordon's short-lived Cold War docudrama Behind Closed Doors.
