An Actress to Try to Remember

Neva Patterson, who specialized in losing or almost losing men throughout her career, has died at the age of 90 of complications from a broken hip. She was the fiancée Cary Grant ditches for inept pedestrian Deborah Kerr in An Affair to Remember, she was the wife Tom Ewell considers leaving for his hot neighbor (Vanessa Brown) in the stage version of The Seven-Year Itch, and she screws over her son, which costs her her second husband, in V, only to later betray the alien she was canoodling with as a collaborator, leading him to shoot her in the back at the conclusion of V: The Final Battle.
