AceShowbiz - Patricia Bosworth, who appeared alongside Audrey Hepburn in "The Nun's Story", has died following a battle with coronavirus.
The actress-turned-Hollywood biographer, 86, died on Thursday, April 2, 2020 due to pneumonia caused by Covid-19, her stepdaughter Fia Hatsav told the New York Times on Friday.
Patricia's acting credits include work on "The Patty Duke Show", "Kraft Theatre", and "Naked City", and she was also known for her biographies of her Hollywood colleagues, such as Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando, and Jane Fonda.
In a post on Facebook, Fia wrote, "This terrible virus has taken my Vibrant, talented, and loving Step- Mother, Patricia Bosworth. You may read about her in all the news articles… But to us she was Patti, and Grandma Patti."
"She was a humble, caring and compassionate person," she continued. "She adopted us and we in return adopted her. She was part of our family, in every way. She loved my children, and treasured being their grandma, it meant everything to her."
Remembering her "inspiring and supportive" stepmum, she added, "I'm so proud of her bravery! I have been talking to her amazing friends, whom loved her so much! Many of them have adopted me now. I am filled with gratefulness for knowing Patti, and having her in my life."
Patricia was married twice. Her second husband, Italian-born American photographer and theatre director, Thomas Palumbo, died due to complications from Lewy body disease in 2008.
