Patricia Hilliard
Biography
Patricia Hilliard was a British actress who worked mainly on stage and in films. Born in Quetta, in what was then British India, she trained at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where a performance in Molière's Sicilien, together with her striking looks, won her a two-year contract with Warner Brothers. Modeling work came first, followed by an extra role in Double Wedding (1933), and she moved quickly to leads in The Girl in the Crowd (1935) and René Clair's The Ghost Goes West (1935). She also appeared in Alexander Korda's Things to Come, which drew on an H. G. Wells novel. Her film career slowed, but she carried on with stage work, and in 1952 she joined the BBC repertory company. She retired in the early 1960s.
