Biography

Patty's life journey began in Perkinsville, New York, where she took her first breath. At the tender age of seven, she embarked on a new adventure with her family, relocating to Winter Park, Florida. Her loved ones treated her with the same affection and respect as her brother and sisters, fostering a sense of equality and togetherness.

As a young performer, Patty's show-business career kicked off as a featured dancer at Edith Royal's newly-opened studio in Winter Park. During her high school years, she spent a summer traveling with a carnival, followed by a year with the renowned Ringling Brothers Circus.

As she grew older, Patty became aware of her independence and her family acknowledged her transition into adulthood. Her mother insisted that she attend the University of Florida, where she honed her skills as a keypunch operator. Later, she returned to New York and began working for National Airlines, where she met her future husband, Joseph Vitek, a charming 4'8" printer from Chicago.

The couple exchanged letters, and Patty traveled extensively throughout Europe and Latin America. Eventually, they tied the knot at the Actors' Chapel in New York, before relocating to Chicago. Despite their blissful marriage being cut short, Patty's world was shattered when Joseph suddenly passed away, leaving her to mourn the loss of their premature baby as well.

With the support of her friends, Patty was coaxed back into the world of show business. Her luck changed when the Krofft Brothers launched a new TV show, "Far Out Space Nuts", and she was offered the role of Honk. Patty eagerly accepted the opportunity and relocated to Los Angeles, where she has remained a beloved entertainer for over two decades.
