    Patricia (Pat) Hitchcock, the only daughter of Alfred Hitchcock and
    Alma Reville, passed away on Monday, August 9, 2021 at the age of 93.
    An actress who made an especially memorable appearance in Strangers on
    a Train, Pat spent the years following her father's death championing
    his work and protecting his legacy.

    Born in London in 1928, Pat moved with her family to Los Angeles in
    1939. As a child, Pat knew she wanted to act. She began acting on the
    stage and doing summer stock. Later, Pat gained a role in the Broadway production of Solitaire (1942) and also played the title role in the
    Broadway play Violet (1944).

    In 1947, Pat graduated from Marymount High School in Los Angeles and
    went on to attend the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, also
    appearing on the London stage.

    Pat had roles in several films, most notably in Strangers on a Train
    and Psycho. She also had roles in several episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

    Pat was the executive producer of the documentary The Man on Lincoln's
    Nose (2000). She was the family representative on the staff of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and appeared at numerous film festivals
    and in Hitchcock documentaries.

    Also a writer, Pat co-authored a biography of her mother, Alma
    Hitchcock, titled, The Woman Behind the Man. It was published in 2003.
    “I was very close to my father (Alfred)," said Pat. "He used to take
    me out every Saturday, shopping and to lunch. On Sundays, he took me
    to church regularly, until I could drive. Then I’d drive him to church regularly.”

    Interesting to think of Hitchcock as a regular churchgoer.
