My Take
Gail Patrick interests me for refusing to be defined by a single chapter. Cast endlessly as the bad girl across more than sixty films, she could have settled for being Hollywood's reliable other woman in pictures like My Man Godfrey and Stage Door. Instead she walked off-camera and reinvented herself as a television producer, which I find genuinely impressive. Crossing from being directed to doing the directing of a production takes nerve and real intelligence. I admire performers who understand the whole machine, not just their close-up, and her second act earns my respect more than her first.
