Pat Pierre Perkins(1925-2002)
- Actress
Priscilla "Pat" Pierre Perkins was an actress with day jobs that ranged
from cab driving to nursing to bartending. She died on January 24th at
her home in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was 76 years old. From 1977 on,
Ms. Perkins had small parts in many big budget films such as Pretty Baby (1978)
and JFK (1991). She got her start in the movie business when a counselor
at the U.S. Employment Service said the production company filming the
New Orleans based "Pretty Baby" was looking for someone of her age and
stature. She earned enough money from her multiple roles in that film
to start her own taxicab business, and continued to land small roles in
major motion pictures. She was a lifelong resident of New Orleans.
