Kay Lenz is an American actress whose career has primarily been in live-action television and film, though she has also contributed her voice to a limited number of animated projects. Born on March 4, 1953, in Los Angeles, California, she began working as a child actress and built a substantial career spanning several decades.

Within the realm of voice acting, Lenz is notably recognized for her role as Odille in the 1981 animated film Swan Lake, a production by Toei Animation. This fantasy film remains her most prominent and frequently cited voice credit. Her other voice work includes roles in 1990s American animated television series. She provided the voice for Cowlamity Kate on the series Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa, which aired from 1992 to 1993. Around the same period, she also voiced the character American Maid on the animated series The Tick. A much later voice credit is for the role of Bird Woman in an episode of the popular series Adventure Time in 2010.

Lenz's career is far more extensive in live-action, where she earned critical acclaim. She won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series, first in 1974 for her role in the ABC Afterschool Special Heart in Hiding and again in 1989 for her performance in the series Midnight Caller. Her filmography includes a wide range of television shows, such as Rich Man, Poor Man, House, M.D., CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and NCIS, as well as films like Breezy (1973) and Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987). While her voice acting credits are a minor part of her overall body of work, her portrayal of Odille in Swan Lake remains a recognized part of her legacy.
