Sue Casey (born April 8, 1926, in Los Angeles, California) is an American actress and Hollywood extra who appeared in over 85 productions between the years 1945 and 2002.

When Casey was in high school, a talent agent saw her and began interviewing her at studios. While still a teenager, Casey appeared in her first film, "Holiday in Mexico" (1945).

Some of her more famous films include The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947), Neptune's Daughter (1949), Annie Get Your Gun (1950), Show Boat (1951), Rear Window (1954), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Camelot (1967) and Paint Your Wagon (1969).

She appeared in Season 3 Episode 9 as Mrs. Calvada opposite Sheldon Leonard on the Dick Van Dyke Show (1963). Casey also appeared in a season five episode of Boy Meets World (1997).

Casey was also a model and in the late 1950s she temporarily transitioned from films to television commercials so she could spend more time with her family. She appeared in over 200 commercials including ads for Chrysler, Maxwell House and Kelloggs.

To fans of 1960s B-movie "beach party cinema," Casey is known as the female lead in the 1965 cult classic The Beach Girls and the Monster, and the notorious 1968 film, Catalina Caper.
