Patricia Pearcy

Delicately pretty, slender and winsome redhead actress Patricia Pearcy had a regrettably fleeting career acting in both films and television, but nonetheless did make a nice favorable impression in the handful of films and TV shows she graced with her disarmingly sweet and beguiling presence. Born in Austin, Texas, Pearcy graduated cum laude with a BFA in acting from the University of Texas. She later acquired an MFA in directing from the University of Texas as well. Moreover, Patricia studied acting with Milton Katselas at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. Pearcy made her excellent and impressive film debut as Warren Oates' loyal, but neglected and long-suffering girlfriend in Monte Hellman's superbly gritty character study "Cockfighter" (1974). Patricia was equally strong and sympathetic as the fetching heroine in Jeff Lieberman's hugely enjoyable killer worm horror treat "Squirm" (1976).
