Magnolia Thunderpussy (30 October 1939 – 15 May 1996), born Patricia Donna Mallon, was a San Francisco burlesque performer, radio personality, filmmaker and restaurateur.
Her catering operation would deliver her signature food items to any location in San Francisco at any hour of the night or early morning, which was hugely popular with the bands and their followers.
Loved for her razor sharp wit, sense of daring and flamboyant imagination, she carved for herself a reputation of fun and free-spirit at a time in the Bay Area when all things seemed possible.
Her younger brother, Jimmy Mallon, also known as "Kid Thunderpussy", was instrumental, albeit in a behind-the-scene capacity, with much of the logistical operation of her food service enterprises.
In 1971, entrepreneurs Chuck Kubat and his partner Gary Lazar opened a record store in Columbus, Ohio, near the Ohio State University campus named Magnolia Thunderpussy, following the success of their similarly named store in East Lansing near Michigan State University.
