Patricia Morison (born March 19, 1915) is an American stage and film actress and
mezzo-soprano singer. She made her feature film debut in 1939 after several years on the stage. She was lauded as a beauty with large eyes and extremely long, dark hair. During this period of her career, she was often cast as the
femme fatale or "other woman". It was only when she returned to the Broadway stage that she achieved her greatest success as the lead in the original production of
Cole Porter's
Kiss Me, Kate.
