Patsy, a talented individual with a rich family background, began her acting career at the tender age of four, playing the role of Robert Redford's and Mia Farrow's daughter in the iconic film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. As she grew older, Patsy continued to hone her craft, diligently studying acting and working during her school holidays.
In 1973, she made her mark on television, starring in productions such as For the Love of Ada and King Arthur. This was followed by a significant experience in her young career, spending nine months in Russia alongside the legendary Elizabeth Taylor, filming the cinematic masterpiece The Bluebird. Upon her return to London, Patsy remained busy, working on various television serials, including The Foundation, Gemma Shore, Luna, and the American serial Pollyanna.
Fast-forward to 1993, Patsy made her debut with the renowned Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) in Richard III, a testament to her dedication to her craft. By the time she was just 14 years old, Patsy had already caught the attention of director Julian Temple, who offered her the lead role in the film Absolute Beginners alongside the iconic David Bowie.
However, Patsy's acting career took a temporary backseat as she pursued her passion for music. At 14, she joined the rock band Eighth Wonder, created by her brother, as a singer and songwriter. During her time with the band, Patsy composed several songs, including the hit singles Stay With Me and Cross My Heart. Her performances with Eighth Wonder caught the attention of Temple, who subsequently offered her the female lead in Absolute Beginners.
After her stint with Eighth Wonder, Patsy returned to acting, appearing in a string of films, including Lethal Weapon II, A Chorus of Disapproval, Chicago Joe and the Showgirl, and Prince of Shadows.
