Sherlock Holmes Puzzles !!!

General Smithers invited five people to his country house for dinner. The surnames of the guests were: FOREST, GILES, HANDY,JACKSON  and KING. Their vocations were: DOCTOR, ACTRESS, LAWYER, BANKER and  WRITER ( but not necessarily in that order). During the meal Smithers dropped dead from food poisoning. The Poison had been slipped into his meal by one of the guests. When Sherlock Holmes arrived on the scene he was given the following information: 
1. JACKSON  arrived last, the ACTRESS arrived before GILES.
2.The WRITER and the ACTRESS arrived before GILES.
3.Third to arrive was the LAWYER, just ahead of KING.
4.FOREST had seen the ACTRESS put the poison on Smither's plate.

Holmes took the ACTRESS to Scotland Yard for further questioning . Who was the ACTRESS ?
