Patrice Wymore

Biography

Patrice Wymore was an American actress who worked in film, television and theater in the 1950s and 1960s. She grew up in Miltonvale, Kansas, the child of vaudeville performers, and from the age of six toured with their act, developing into an accomplished dancer with a strong singing voice. She appeared in Up in Central Park in 1947 and was fourth billed in Hold It!, a Broadway musical staged in 1948; that role earned her a Theatre World Award as a promising actress. A five-month engagement in the 1949 revue All for Love led to a Warner Bros. talent scout signing her. Her first screen credit as Patrice Wymore came in Tea for Two (1950), and she went on to films including The Big Trees (1952) and The Man Behind the Gun (1953). She also sang and danced in night club acts in Hollywood, Las Vegas and Phoenix, and performed in European supper clubs.
