She's also one of the three dangerous ladies dancing around John Garfield in Fallen Sparrow, a Mad little Nazi Spy thriller with Beaver Cleaver's dad, Hugh Beaumont as one of the baddies and John Bannerman (SCHULZ from Hogan's Heroes) so thin as to be almost unrecognizable as another.
Hollywood never seemed to know what to do with her. I wish I had seen her star Turn as Lilly / Kate in Kiss me Kate, a role she originated on Broadway.b

A wonderful, talented performer, Miss Morison missed the big time in films, or maybe she just didn't care. Her leaving the movies seemed to add to rather than take off years from her life. I love watching her. She had maybe the most distinctive, beautiful and easy to recognize profiles,--I mean literally, her, face--in Hollywood. |

Yes, she started on Broadway and returned to Broadway, a wonderful mezzo-soprano it seems. On wikipedia I found some clips to her Broadway songs. Here's the link (I hope it works): Patricia Morison EDIT: Oh, it did work! And what a voice! |

Miss Morison can be seen as the leading lady in the Universal 1943 Inner Sanctum entry Calling Dr. Death Saturday night on Svengoolie  . It airs, depending on where you live, at either 10PM or 11 (it's 11 in Boston, maybe on the east coast, not sure). It's not a great movie but there she is, Miss Morison, so young, in all her glory.
Worth a mention: her leading man, and the movie's star, is none other than Mr. Lon Chaney, Jr. As my Avatar suggests and I should add "you've been warned!" 
n.b. I should have mentioned that the network the movie is on is MeTV. |

It's nice to see all this love for an actress who has been out of "general circulation" for quite some time and was never really movie star famous.  |
