Patricia Hitchcock, ‘Psycho’ actress and daughter of Alfred, dead at 93

Patricia “Pat” Hitchcock, a veteran character actress perhaps best-known for offering Janet Leigh’s wound-tight “Psycho” character a tranquilizer, has died. She was 93.

Born on July 7, 1928 in the UK to famed film director Alfred Hitchcock and his infamously loyal wife, Alma Reville, the legendary duo’s offspring would go on to appear in a string of her pop’s projects including “Stage Fright” (1950), “Strangers on a Train” (1951) and the aforementioned “Psycho” (1960). She also guest-starred in 10 episodes of the classic TV anthology series “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” from 1955 to 1960. Her daughter, Katie O’Connell-Fiala, confirmed that Hitchcock died Monday in Thousand Oaks, Calif., Variety reported.
