Biography

Pat, a quintessential New Yorker, began her professional journey as a receptionist and clerk in a box factory, where she honed her skills in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.

However, her life took an unexpected turn when she crossed paths with the renowned artist Andy Warhol, who would later feature her in his iconic film "Heat" alongside the talented Joe Dallesandro and Sylvia Miles.

This exposure led Pat to venture into the world of fashion, where she met the celebrated designer Roy Halston and worked in his esteemed Madison Avenue store. The experience and connections she made during this time ultimately inspired her to make a bold move to Los Angeles in the mid-1970s.

Upon arriving in LA, Pat's acting career continued to flourish, with notable appearances in films such as "Reform School Girls", "The Incredible Shrinking Woman", and "Foul Play", solidifying her status as a talented and versatile actress.
