- Patsy Kelly nasceu o 12 de janeiro de 1910 em Brooklyn, Nova York, EUA. Era atriz e foi conhecida pelo seu trabalho em O Bebê de Rosemary (1968), O Bebê das Três Mamães (1937) e Boca para Beijar (1934). Morreu o 24 de setembro de 1981 em Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, Califórnia, EUA.
- Her brother gave her the nickname "Patsy".
- She was known for her ability to ad-lib on screen, a skill she developed in vaudeville.
- In 1933, she and Jimmy Forlenza were passengers in an automobile driven by actor/female impersonator Jean Malin who accidentally backed the car off the Venice Pier and drowned. Kelly and Forlenza (a close friend of Malin) survived.
- In the mid-1940s, she became personal assistant, frequent lover, and lifelong friend of Tallulah Bankhead.
- Patsy was unusual for her time by admitting publicly that she was a lesbian. Many movie historians believe her frankness about her lifestyle hurt her acting career which all but ended in movies by 1944, until television revived it.
- I laughed from the time I arrived at the studio until I left at night. I was almost ashamed to take a paycheck. In 40-odd years in show business, some years I could do no wrong, and some years I could do nothing right. Show business. I owe it everything - it owes me nothing.
- [Before going to Hollywood] I'll be a flop in movies. Besides, I don't like 'em, and I never did believe there was a place called Hollywood. Somebody made it up!
- I think people are starved for happy endings. I know I was.
