Patricia Anna Lovell (née Parr), AM MBE (1929 â€" 26 January 2013)
was an Australian film producer and actress, whose work within that
country's film industry led her to receive the Raymond Longford Award
in 2004 from the Australian Film Institute (AFI). Her productions
include 1975's Picnic at Hanging Rock, and Gallipoli, which received
an AFI Award in 1982 as Best Film.Lovell says she was born in either
Artarmon or Willoughby, the second child, and first daughter, of
Letitia Evelyn née Forsyth (5 January 1906 â€" 21 April 1986) and
Harold George Parr (1901 â€" 23 March 1970), an optometrist. During
her childhood three of her siblings died, including one who was quite
ill at birth and died at 18 months, and her parents divorced. She
attended Presbyterian Ladies' College, Armidale, but "didn't do well
in the Leaving at all" and failed to get a university pass.She began
her career in radio at the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) in
the early 1950s, becoming a junior broadcaster in children's programs.
That led to her joining the cast of the Children's Session. Despite
the pressure of live television and having no formal training, she
started making weekly appearances on ABC Children's TV, and in 1960
began her most fondly-remembered role as 'Miss Pat' in ABC TV's
children's television program Mr. Squiggle. Patricia Lovell Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
