Obituary: I did know actress Patricia Morison died the other day at the age of 103. I simply forgot to include it on this blog. She was in the stage version of Kiss Me Kate, and she was also known for her extremely long hair, which she wore into old age.
Morison was born on March 15, 1915 in New York City, the daughter of playwright and actor William Morison and Selena Fraser, a British Intelligence agent during World War I. After graduating from high school, Morison took acting classes at the Neighborhood Playhouse and made her stage debut at the Provincetown Playhouse in the musical revue “Don’t Mind the Rain.” Her Broadway debut followed shortly, in 1933’s “Growing Pains,” though she never appeared on stage, instead acting as the stand-by for Helen Hayes in the lead role of Victoria Regina.
...
After appearing in several more films, Morison made her stage return in 1948 in Cole Porter’s “Kiss Me, Kate” opposite Alfred Drake, which even further cemented her notoriety and made her a bonafide Broadway star. The play ran on Broadway for a record-breaking total of 1,077 performances over two and a half years, before Morison took it to London for another 400 performances. The production earned six Tony awards, including the first ever for best musical.
She remained active until near the end of her long life.
