Patricia Dane

Biography

Patricia Dane was an American film actress whose career belonged mostly to the 1940s. Born in Blountstown, Florida, she put in close to three years at the University of Alabama and moved to New York in 1938 to work as a model before going on to Los Angeles. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer signed her in 1941, and her first screen roles were uncredited bits in Ziegfeld Girl and I'll Wait for You. A well-received performance as Jennitt Hicks in Life Begins for Andy Hardy (1941) earned her a long-term contract. She played Garnet in Mervyn LeRoy's Johnny Eager (1942), which starred Robert Taylor and Lana Turner, and drew favorable press for Grand Central Murder (1942), billed second to Van Heflin. Columnists compared her looks to Hedy Lamarr's. She later returned at Monogram Pictures in Joe Palooka in Fighting Mad (1948), and her last screen work came in uncredited parts in Road to Bali (1952) and The Harder They Fall (1956).
