Eunice Fay McKenzie was an American actress and singer.

She was also known for her collaborations with director Blake Edwards on five occasions.

She also appeared on Broadway, radio, and television, having appeared on screen at ten weeks old in 1918. She was still appearing on screen at the time of her death, with her latest project opposite her son Tom Waldman Jr. in the comedy Kill a Better Mousetrap, based on a play by Scott K. Ratner, filmed in the summer of 2018 and not yet released at the time of her death. She was briefly billed as Fay Shannon. She's the actress with the longest movie career ever, (100 years).
