Lee Salome Patrick (November 22, 1901 – November 21, 1982) was an American actress whose career began in 1922 on the New York stage with her role in The Bunch and Judy which headlined Adele Astaire and featured Adele's brother Fred Astaire.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name=Rigdon>Template:Cite book</ref>

Patrick continued to perform in dozens of roles on the stage for the next decade, frequently in musicals and comedies, but also in dramatic parts like her 1931 performance as Meg in Little Women. She began to branch out into films in 1929. For half a century she created a credible body of cinematic work, her most memorable being as Sam Spade's assistant Effie in Template:Film show year, and her reprise of the role in the George Segal comedy sequel The Black Bird (1975). Her talents were showcased in comedies such as the Jack Benny film George Washington Slept Here (1942) and as one of the foils of Rosalind Russell in Template:Film show year. Dramatic parts such as an asylum inmate in The Snake Pit (1948) and as Pamela Tiffin's mother in Template:Film show year were another facet of her repertoire. She played numerous guest roles in American television, but became a staple for that medium during the two-year run of Topper. As Henrietta Topper, her comedic timing played well against Leo G. Carroll as her husband, and against that of the two ghosts played by Robert Sterling and Anne Jeffreys. Patrick lent her voice to various animated characters of The Alvin Show in the early 1960s.

Personal life

Lee Salome Patrick was born on November 22, 1901, in New York City, to entertainment journalist Warren Patrick and Marie S. (Conrad) Patrick.<ref name=Rigdon/><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> By 1937, Patrick married newsman-writer-publicist Tom Wood, author of The Bright Side of Billy Wilder, Primarily,<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> and remained married 45 years, until her death. They had no children. During her career in Hollywood, she was not in good standing with gossip columnist Louella Parsons, and this conflict kept her career stuck in the "B" ranks. Wood wrote a frank piece on Parsons which did not go over well with the columnist.Template:Citation needed

Patrick in Inner Sanctum (1948)

The Shelf (1926) ran for 32 performances.<ref name=10129Ibdb /> Patrick acted in three plays in 1927: the 12-performance comedy Baby Mine;<ref name="10334Ibdb" /> the equally brief The Matrimonial Bed;<ref name=7881Ibdb /> and Nightstick,<ref name=10486Ibdb /> an 84-performance run through January 1928. The 24-performance The Common Sin was the only other play she did in 1928.<ref name=10746Ibdb />

June Moon gave Patrick her longest run of her stage career, 273 performances in 1929 and 1930,<ref name=10951Ibdb /> and 48 performances in 1933.<ref name=9702Ibdb /> She rounded out 1930 with the 13-performance run of Room of Dreams.<ref name=11254Ibdb /> Privilege Car was her first play of 1931,<ref name=11331Ibdb /> but she soon was on stage in the musical Friendship<ref name=11401Ibdb /> and finished out that year with 17 performances as Meg in Little Women<ref name=Ibdb11456 /> One of the briefest plays of her career was The Girl Outside in 1932, which ran for 8 performances;<ref name=11657Ibdb /> however, that one came on the heels of Blessed Event that had run for 115 performances.<ref name=11490Ibdb />

After Shooting Star in 1933,<ref name=9710Ibdb /> and Slightly Delirious, her only play of 1934,<ref name="Ibdb11199" /> Patrick began to look towards a film career. Knock on Wood<ref name="11572Ibdb" /> and Abide With Me<ref name=12028Ibdb /> did not fare much better for her. She had a long run of 169 performances in Stage Door in 1936–1937,<ref name=11213Ibdb /> but only did one more Broadway play after that, the comedy Michael Drops In.<ref name=11228Ibdb />

Cast of Inner Sanctum L-R Nana Bryant, Billy House, Lee Patrick and Dale Belding

Patrick had the starring role in her first film, Strange Cargo, an early American sound production for Pathé released on March 31, 1929. In this remake of producer Benjamin Glazer's Missing Man,<ref>Fleming (2009), p. 311-312</ref> British actor George Barraud played her leading man.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It was another six years before she made another film: The Casino Murder Case for MGM. She had a bit part as a nurse in the film, which brought her together for the first time with Leo G. Carroll, with whom two decades later she worked on the television series Topper.<ref name=4550AFI />

She remained in Hollywood and appeared in Border Cafe (1937). Over the next several years, she played numerous supporting roles, without attracting much critical attention. Patrick appeared in The Maltese Falcon (1941) as Effie Perine, the loyal and quick-thinking secretary of Humphrey Bogart's Sam Spade.<ref name=146152Nissen /> Perine was one of Patrick's more enduring film characterizations. The same year, she appeared in a leading role as an intelligent, crime-solving nurse in The Nurse's Secret.

Her other films include The Sisters (1938), Footsteps in the Dark (1941), Now, Voyager (1942), Mrs. Parkington (1944), Gambler's Choice (1944), Mildred Pierce (1945), Wake Up and Dream (1946), Caged (1950), There's No Business Like Show Business (1954), Vertigo (1958), Auntie Mame (1958), Pillow Talk (1959), Summer and Smoke (1961), and 7 Faces of Dr. Lao (1964).<ref name=146152Nissen />

In the mid-1960s, Lee retired to travel and paint in Orange County, California, but was coaxed back one more time to Hollywood. Her final film role was a reprise of the character Effie Perine in The Black Bird, a spoof of the Maltese Falcon, starring George Segal as Sam Spade, Jr., who in the storyline was forced to continue his father's work and to keep his increasingly sarcastic secretary; the film attempted to turn its revered predecessor into a comedy.<ref name=146152Nissen /> The only actor joining her from the original cast was Elisha Cook Jr. The film premiered May 9, 1976.
