I'm sorry, but that does not look like Pat( in the first photo) and that does not look like Pat in the second photo. It looks for all the world like Nora. now I may be wrong in the first photo, but I am convincied that the photo in the newspaper is not Patrice. Pat has a very unique profile and a very unique face. I may be wrong, but I don't think so. The credits of the movie may prove me wrong, but that does not look lke the Pat I know, and have known for more than 8 yrs. I have tried to contact Pat about this subject, but she is visiting family in the states and I only have the Boston Bay phone #. Roey or Diedre could put this to rest and David could contact either of the two. I know that Nora says she attended the funeral in her book, “Errol and Me”. I think that puts the subject to rest, eh?

My dearest John!
I am so sorry and really hate to disappoint you or anybody or to correct you, but in both counts this is Patrice 100% as she was in those days!!!
Hi Kathleen – Sherlook!
Thank you for posting these two pictures of Patrice. One is at the funeral – the other from the movie “Ocean's Eleven”! She played Adele Ekstrom!
Take care,
Tina

I can't find a reference in Errol and Me where Nora says she attended the funeral. She states while alive he told her he wanted to be buried near the sea in Jamaica. But after his death the only reference is “he was buried at Forest Lawn cemetery, dressed in a gray business suit.” This is not an indication she did or did not attend the funeral.
Hi Tina. I added another photo (found at Patrice's website) which should document her participation in Ocean's Eleven. “Honored guest at the premiere.”
Oops! I'm sorry, I was commenting on another posting by Mr. Bobzak and pushed the wrong button I guess. The second photo looks exactly like Pat, and the first one her too.(although many years old. Sorry for the mixup. John
John, I'm sorry to say this seems to be bordering on obsession. Nora was NOT at the funeral, by her own admission in “Errol & Me”; the mourning photo is of Pat, whom all witnesses and accounts verify; I saw “Ocean's 11” when it was released, have seen it several times over the years, and Pat indeed stars in it (check IMDB); I risk throwing my professional background around but regarding facial structure (of which I know plenty), the faces of Nora and Pat are considerably different, and I will later post a pic of Nora one month before Errol's death and unless she lost a ton of weight between then and the so-called funeral pic of her, you'll see how far off the comparison really is.
This is really a curious topic to be obsessing over. But then again, conspiratrorial interests are not uncommon. My guess is that validation from Deirdre and/or Rory may still not quell your “suspicions”.
