American film, stage, and television actress, born on July 9, 1927, in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, and raised in a chain of eight foster homes. She attended high school in Manhattan, where she became interested in drama and joined the school's drama club. Later, while trying to choose between a career in music or art, she illustrated children's books during the day and sang in the Manhattan Village Barn at night. At the same time, she made her debut in Kiss of Death (1947) and worked in New York-based television. Maxwell Arnow, a casting director for Columbia Pictures, spotted Cabot at the Village Barn, and a co-starring role in that studio's B-grade South Seas drama On the Isle of Samoa (1950) resulted. She was known for The Wasp Woman (1959), Son of Ali Baba (1952), and War of the Satellites (1958). She died on December 10, 1986, in Encino, California, USA (homicide).
