"Patricia Ellis" was an United States of America/American film actress of the 1930s.

Born "Patricia Leftwich" in Birmingham, Michigan, Ellis began her stage career after leaving school. Given a film test while appearing on stage in New York, she was put under contract by Warner Bros.. In 1932, she had two small parts, both uncredited, in the films Three on a Match and Central Park. That same year, she was one of fourteen girls chosen as WAMPAS Baby Stars; Ellis, at 16, was the youngest. Her first credited role was in the 1933 film The King's Vacation, starring George Arliss and Marjorie Gateson.

After that film, her career took off, with her starring mostly in lower-budget B-movies but still working steadily. She had roles in eight films in 1933, co-starring that year with James Cagney in Picture Snatcher, and in another seven in 1934. She started 1935 off with A Night at the Ritz, in which she had the lead female role, opposite William Gargan.

This is so much more than I thought it would be.

There is a desperate need right now, especially among the organizations that aid the needy with shelter, food and assistance with utility bills. We were very grateful to get the $63.4 million in the economic climate we have here.
