IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
Pat Nixon
Graduated cum laude from the University of Southern California, 1937, B.S. Merchandising, with a certificate to teach at the high school level, which USC regarded as equal to a Master's degree. A former professor noted that she "stood out from the empty-headed, overdressed little sorority girls of that era like a good piece of literature on a shelf of cheap paperbacks." She later taught high school in Whittier, California.

She met her future husband, Richard Nixon, when both were cast in a Whittier community theater performance of George S. Kaufman's "The Dark Tower".
