Patricia Firman (1922 – June 1980) was an Australian model, actress and TV personality.
She began her career aged 14 when discovered by Cinesound Productions. She was a contender for the female lead in Forty Thousand Horsemen but lost to Betty Bryant.[1]
She was an early panellist on the Beauty and the Beast TV show and had her own program Penthouse.
She died of cancer in June 1980.[2] Filmink called her "stunningly beautiful... a potential film star who never got the chance to show what she could do on screen outside a few shorts... although she did become a popular TV host."[3]
