Patricia Morison was frequently cast as the femme fatale or villainous "other woman" in Hollywood, and appeared in multiple horror films and films noir throughout the 1940s, including "The Fallen Sparrow" (1943) and "Lady on a Train" (1945). She found even greater success on Broadway, and would receive widespread renown for her portrayal of Kate in Cole Porter's debut production of "Kiss Me, Kate" (1948).
