Lynn Cartwright (February 27 1927January 2 2004) was an American character actress probably best known for her performance as the older version of Geena Davis' character, Dottie Hinson, in the 1992 film "A League of Their Own".

She was born Doralyn E. Cartwright in McAlester, Oklahoma, the daughter of U.S. Congressman Wilburn Cartwright and his wife Carrie. She had a sister, Wilburta, who was a successful artist. She was also related to former Oklahoma Legislator Buck Cartwright and former Oklahoma Attorney General Jan-Eric Cartwright.

Her acting career spanned from 1957 to 1992 and included smaller roles in largely forgettable films such as "Black Patch" (1957), "The Cry Baby Killer" (1958), "The Wasp Woman" (1960), "The Girls on the Beach" (1965), "Son of Hitler" (1978) and "Lovelines" (1984).

She was also involved with a repertory theatre group in Burbank, California.

Cartwright was married to actor/writer Leo Gordon until his death in 2000. She died from complications of dementia after having suffered a fall in which she fractured her hip.
