Patricia Medina

She died at Barlow Respiratory Hospital in Elysian Park, Los Angeles. She was interred at Blandford Cemetery in Petersburg, Virginia, beside her husband, Joseph Cotten.
During the making of Snow White and the Three Stooges (1961), Patricia Medina and Carol Heiss reportedly did not get along with each other in real life with Heiss doing her utmost to get Medina fired.
Made her Broadway debut with "Calculated Risks" (1962) opposite her second husband Joseph Cotten.
In an interview shortly before her death, she said the main reason she took the role of the stepmother, in Snow White and the Three Stooges (1961), is because she would finally be playing a villain. Up to the point, she was known for her "good girl" roles.
Was a naturalized citizen of the United States; resided in Los Angeles, California.

[on working with Lou Costello in Deux nigauds légionnaires (1950)] He was a perfect gentleman, and so helpful to somebody who hadn't done very much acting. He would ad-lib out of habit--he just couldn't help it. He certainly didn't do it to throw you, and if he did throw you, he was terribly apologetic and sweet. The only thing was, it was very difficult to look him in the eye without breaking up--he had that angelic face. He was a naughty little Peter Pan, he never grew up. And although he was a child, you can't be that great a performer without being a true sophisticate. And he was that. Many children are most sophisticated, and Lou was a very sophisticated child. I thought he was the greatest comedian I had ever seen. (Quoted in Abbott and Costello in Hollywood, by Bob Furmanek and Ron Palumbo.)
[In 1947, from the New York Times] In England, I was nearly always cast as someone of mysterious origin, not too clearly designated but probably from some Southern European country. Here, they decided in my first film Coeur secret (1946) that I should be a Yankee. I my second film, I'm definitely English. It's all rather confusing, I must say.
