Patsy Kelly Overview:

Actress, Patsy Kelly, was born Bridget Sarah Veronica Rose Kelly on Jan 12, 1910 in Brooklyn, NY. Kelly died at the age of 71 on Sep 24, 1981 in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles and was laid to rest in Calvary Cemetery in Woodside, NY.

MINI BIO: 

Patsy Kelly was a dynamic dark-haired American actress who forsook a career as a dance teacher to come to Hollywood as a star comedienne in two-reels and to play supporting roles in features. She often played a wisecracking maid or a gutsy, lower class girlfriend (1941, Topper Returns). She left show business in the wartime years, but returned in 1960 for some welcome cameo roles (1968, Rosemary's Baby). Kelly was never married and died from cancer in 1981.

Patsy Kelly Quotes:

Mac, Head Nurse: [Referring to Kelly, who, in spite of her shady background, has quickly landed a job at the local children's hospital] She came out of the clouds one night, without a single reference. I hired her on the spot.
Capt. Griff: [Suspiciously] I thought orthopedics called for specialized training?
Mac, Head Nurse: Oh, it does! Some people are born to write books, symphonies; paint pictures, build bridges. But Kelly... She was born to handle children with crutches and babies in braces.
Capt. Griff: [Still not convinced] Sounds like one of those sweet Florence Nightingales.
Mac, Head Nurse: Not Kelly, she's tough! Runs her ward like a pirate ship! She makes Captain Bligh look like a sissy.

Peters: Did I hear somebody scream?
Kitty: Well, if you didn't, you oughta have your ears cleaned out!

Luke Brown: Aren't you afraid?
Clarence 'Chow' Brewster: Have you ever heard my courage question?
Bebe McGuire: I've never even heard it mentioned.
