Pat Quinn (American actress) explained

Patricia Quinn is an American actress.

Biography

Quinn was born in Langhorne, Pennsylvania and grew up in Panama. In her early acting performances she went by Ariane Quinn to avoid confusion with an actress from Britain named Patricia Quinn[1]

In 1966, Quinn played the female lead as "Cora Ellis", a Quaker who falls in love with Thad (Roger Ewing) in “Quaker Girl” (S12E12) on the TV Western Gunsmoke (credited as Ariane Quinn).

Quinn played the title role of Alice Brock in the 1969 film Alice's Restaurant,[2] which the real Alice Brock disowned after its release.[3] [4] After the success of Alice's Restaurant, Quinn indicated she wanted to be known as 'Patricia Quinn'.[5] Yet the movie's producer, Arthur Penn, did not like the name Patricia and insisted she go by the name Pat, and Quinn obliged.[6]

Quinn's other credits included An Unmarried Woman, Shoot Out, Zachariah,[7] Clean and Sober,[8] and Shut Yer Dirty Little Mouth!.[9]

Quinn was married to Tommy Leonetti and John Escobar. She lives in Palmdale, California.[10]
