Patsy Kelly

Patsy Kelly, known for her daring friend roles in ’30s films like Merrily We Live, lived her truth openly. In an era cloaked in conformity, she embraced her identity, sharing her life with her girlfriend, undeterred by societal norms.

Intriguingly, Kelly’s romantic ties with the openly bisexual Tallulah Bankhead suggest their openness might have impacted Kelly’s career. Despite her talent, leading roles eluded her, sparking speculation on whether it was due to her sexuality or stiff competition.
