Rebecca Lynn Olkowski (born December 16, 1953 in Denver, Colorado), better known by her maiden name, Rebecca Forstadt, is an American voice actress who is best known for playing anime girls with sweet voices. She is also known as Reba West and Becky Olkowski.

After studying theater at Orange Coast College, in Costa Mesa, CA, Ms. Forstadt began her acting career by working at Knott's Berry Farm's Bird Cage Theater, performing melodramas, often as the damsel in distress character. Later, she moved to Hollywood where she worked as a wardrobe mistress on such television shows as "The White Shadow" and "Hill Street Blues", as well as for the film "S.O.B.". She also spent several years doing live theater in the Los Angeles area. Most notably, she won some recognition for her portrayal of the character Josette in the world premiere of Eugène Ionesco's "Tales for People Under 3 Years of Age" at the Stages Theatre Center in 1982. She starred in several low-budget movies such as "Mugsy's Girls", with Ruth Gordon and Laura Branigan, and "Round Numbers" with Kate Mulgrew and Samantha Eggar. She also appeared as a television actress in "Hill Street Blues", "St. Elsewhere", and "LA Law".

Her voice acting breakthrough came when she landed the leading role of Lynn Minmei in the English version of "Robotech", the popular anime series of the 1980s. Since then, she has voiced dozens of other anime characters and has branched into non-anime cartoons, live-action shows (such as "Masked Rider" and ""), commercials and radio work, and has performed background voices for movies such as "Antz", "Dr. Doolittle", and "The Santa Clause".
