   Patricia (Pat) Hitchcock, the only daughter of Alfred Hitchcock and   
   Alma Reville, passed away on Monday, August 9, 2021 at the age of 93.   
   An actress who made an especially memorable appearance in Strangers on   
   a Train, Pat spent the years following her father's death championing   
   his work and protecting his legacy.   
      
   Born in London in 1928, Pat moved with her family to Los Angeles in   
   1939. As a child, Pat knew she wanted to act. She began acting on the   
   stage and doing summer stock. Later, Pat gained a role in the Broadway   
   production of Solitaire (1942) and also played the title role in the   
   Broadway play Violet (1944).   
      
   In 1947, Pat graduated from Marymount High School in Los Angeles and   
   went on to attend the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, also   
   appearing on the London stage.   
      
   Pat had roles in several films, most notably in Strangers on a Train   
   and Psycho. She also had roles in several episodes of Alfred Hitchcock   
   Presents.   
      
   Pat was the executive producer of the documentary The Man on Lincoln's   
   Nose (2000). She was the family representative on the staff of Alfred   
   Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and appeared at numerous film festivals   
   and in Hitchcock documentaries.   
      
   Also a writer, Pat co-authored a biography of her mother, Alma   
   Hitchcock, titled, The Woman Behind the Man. It was published in 2003.   
   “I was very close to my father (Alfred)," said Pat. "He used to take   
   me out every Saturday, shopping and to lunch. On Sundays, he took me   
   to church regularly, until I could drive. Then I’d drive him to church   
   regularly.”
