Marjorie Patterson

Her works included the novels Fortunata (1911),[2][3][4] The Dust of the Road (1913), about her experiences acting in London,[5][6] and A Woman's Man (1919).

Finally she drifts to England and marries a very rich man and is forced to live with his hum-drum mother and daughters.

[10] Patterson's theatre roles included playing the title role in Pierrot the Prodigal (which played at the Booth Theatre in New York and was produced by Winthrop Ames and Walter Knight),[11][12] and in the one-act Pan in Ambush, which she wrote.

[14][15][16][17][18] Reporting on her in the 1910s places her birth year around 1891; it was not uncommon at this time for actresses to claim a younger age.

Her great-grandfather was author and critic John Neal,[1] and her great-aunt was Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, sister-in-law of Napoleon.
