Early life and career
[edit | edit source]Broderick was born Patricia Biow in New York City, the daughter of Sophie (née Taub; 1895–1943) and Milton H.

Her father died 33 years later when she was 51. In Mexico, Broderick studied painting with Rufino Tamayo who had been her art teacher at the Dalton School in Manhattan.[10] She began writing plays in the 1940s and several of them were performed in New York and London. Her 1996 screenplay for Infinity was based on the life of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.
