Cathryn Lee Damon (September 11, 1930 - May 4, 1987) was an American actress, best known for her roles on television sitcoms in the 1970s and 1980s.

Born in Seattle, Washington, Damon graduated from Tacoma's historic Stadium High School,"Some famous and notable graduates", "The News Tribune" (Tacoma, WA), September 9, 2006.] moved to New York City at sixteen to pursue ballet and ultimately appeared in several Broadway productions, including "Shinbone Alley", "Foxy", "Flora, The Red Menace", "The Boys from Syracuse","Deaths in the news", "Chicago Sun-Times", May 10, 1987.] "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers", "Sweet Bird of Youth", and "The Cherry Orchard".

Damon became familiar to television viewers as middle-class Mary Campbell on the primetime spoof of daytime soaps aptly entitled "Soap" from 1977 until 1981, followed by her role of Cassie Parker on "Webster" from 1984 until 1986. Other TV credits included roles in "Matlock", "Mike Hammer" and "Murder, She Wrote".

Damon won an Emmy Award for "Soap" in 1980, but could not appear in person to receive the Award owing to an actors' strike (to which her former co-star Richard Mulligan actually referred when he received his own Emmy more than a decade later for his role as Dr. Weston on the television series "Empty Nest").

In 1986, Damon was diagnosed with cancer but continued acting in small roles up until shortly before her death. Her final role, as Elizabeth McGovern's mother in the movie "She's Having a Baby" with Kevin Bacon, was released posthumously.

Damon was survived by her mother and sister. She claimed to have been married once, but offered no specifics. She is interred in Acacia Memorial Park in Seattle.
