- Patsy Hunter was born on August 1, 1909 in Los Angeles, California, USA. She was an actress, known for Up Jumped the Devil (1941). She died on January 10, 1988 in Los Angeles, California, USA.
- Dancer, choreographer and producer, Patsy Hunter worked in nightclubs, on stage in shows, and in many motion pictures (most notably Republic Pictures' "Hit Parade of 1942") for a number of years until Jim Crow forced her out of her profession--there were very few venues in the United States that would hire black dancers. In 1953, in an interview in the newspaper the Pittsburgh Courier, she stated "There's no business like show business when it's good, but when it's bad, the most important thing is to look for another profession. That's what I did four years ago and I do not regret it at all. I became a barmaid.".
