      From: drsteerforth@yahoo.com              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.”              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
