Cheryl Walker (August 1, 1918 - October 24, 1971) was an American fashion model and actress.
Born in Pasadena, California, Walker won the 1938 "Tournament of Roses" pageant leading to brief career as a model and the beginning of a film career. She appeared in small, uncredited roles in several films from 1938 until her first substantial role in "Chasing Trouble" (1940) with Frankie Darro. She briefly took the name Sharon Lee for the exploitative film "Secrets of a Model" (1940) which provided her first starring role, before returning to minor roles.
She was Veronica Lake's "double" in the film "Sullivan's Travels" (1941), and was the female lead in "Shadows on the Sage" (1942). Her most substantial role was in "Stage Door Canteen" (1943) in which she played a hostess at the canteen who meets and falls in love with a serviceman.
She continued appearing in films for the next few years until her retirement in 1948.
She died in 1971 from cancer in Pasadena, California.
