Personal Details

Biography

Next person biography:

Patricia "Patti" French was born in San Diego and raised as a Navy brat with a passion for entertaining. She spent her younger years in California, Florida, and various parts of the ocean. Her family was very musical, incorporating music into every event and family gathering, and raised Patti on Rock 'n' Roll, The Beatles, Barbara Streisand, and Frank Sinatra. Patti's love for music and dance led her to Glee Club and dance classes as a young girl, but she began her acting career in theatre and also worked as a voice-over talent after putting college on hold.

Patti attended the National Shakespeare Conservatory in New York and still enjoys doing plays to this day. She is attracted to challenging, dark roles as well as comedic roles and has costarred in the blockbuster POMS as the feisty Phyllis, one of the Poms cheerleaders, alongside Diane Keaton, Jacki Weaver, Pam Grier, Rhea Perlman, and the rest of the gals.

Patti has also taken on the role of Doris in the feature Stuber, an action-comedy starring Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista, and recurs in Hulu's hit series The Act as Tina, a hotel desk clerk who helps solve the murder of Gypsy Rose's mother.
