Actress. She will be best remembered for playing Rebecca Boone opposite Fess Parker in the TV series “Daniel Boone” (1964 to 1970). Born Patsy Lou Blake, she was raised in Dallas, Texas.

This led to her being discovered by Hollywood talent scouts and her film debut in the relatively unknown Warner Brothers’ war picture “Jump into Hell” (1956). This was followed by the pictures “Crimes Against Joe” (1956), “The Black Sleep” (1956, which was of note for starring Basil Rathbone, Bela Lugosi and John Carradine) and “City of Fear” (1959).
