The actress died at her home in Thousand Oaks, Calif., on Monday, her daughter Katie O'Connell-Fiala told The Hollywood Reporter and Variety. The cause of death was not revealed. Pat appeared in several movies, including her father's films Strangers on a Train (1951), Psycho (1960) and Stage Fright (1950). In 1984, while discussing getting roles in Alfred's films, the actress told the Washington Post, "I wish he had believed in nepotism. I'd have worked a lot more." "But he never had anyone in his pictures unless he believed they were right for the part," she continued at the time. "He never fit a story to a star or to an actor. Often I tried to hint to his assistant, but I never got very far. She'd bring my name up, he'd say, 'She isn't right for it,' and that would be the end of that."
