Mini Biography

The arch and edgy, somewhat hard-looking, dark-haired Neva Patterson, known by face perhaps as opposed to name, was a familiar presence in heavily-styled drama of the 1950s and 1960s. Christened Neva Louise Patterson in 1920 (some sources incorrectly state 1922) to a mailman father and seamstress mother, she was born and raised in Nevada. She loved putting on plays at home (along with her brother, Harlon) and eventually worked as an usher at Nevada's Circle Theatre.

Neva graduated from high school in 1937 and found secretarial jobs to make do until she moved to New York the next year. She worked long and hard at such jobs as secretary, hotel singer and bit part performer before finally making her Broadway bow in "The Druid Circle" in 1947. By this time she had married a professional dancer, but they divorced in 1948. More plays came her way: "Ring 'Round the Moon" (1950), "Susan and God" (1951), "The Cocktail Party" (1951) and "The Seven-Year Itch" (1952). Television became a viable medium for her in the late 1940s, and by 1957 she had more than 400 dramas to her credit.

Neva appeared sporadically in film and supported herself with roles in such prominent fare as Taxi (1953), her debut; The Solid Gold Cadillac (1956); Desk Set (1957); An Affair to Remember (1957), as Cary Grant's socialite fiancée; Too Much, Too Soon (1958) as Diana Barrymore's mother, writer Blanche Oelrichs (aka Michael Strange); David and Lisa (1962); Dear Heart (1964); and Counterpoint (1967), to name a few. Her brittle, overwrought ladies were notoriously glamorous, usually business-oriented and, more often than not, quite overbearing.

Neva continued in this fashion with a flux of TV roles and graced such short-lived series as "The Governor & J.J." (1969) as the secretary to governor Dan Dailey in 1969; "Nichols" (1971), wherein she played a powerful, corruptible matriarch opposite James Garner; and 1974's _"Doc Elliot" (1974)_, as a widow and frequent confidante to medic James Franciscus. None of these lasted more than a season. In 1980 the actress made a brief Broadway comeback as a replacement in "Romantic Comedy". She later had recurring roles in the TV movie "V: The Final Battle" (1984) and in the series "Webster" (1983), "St. Elsewhere" (1982) and "Berrenger's" (1985).

Married three times, she adopted two children with her third husband, writer James Lee, who died in 2002. Neva, who retired in the early 1990s, passed away at age 90 of complications from a pelvic fracture in December of 2010.

Hi Mary,I got user unknown when I emailed you. Email me mdbelty@webtv.net and maybe then a reply to yours will go through.I was at Barrens last Saturday, I live about a mile or two from there, I was looking fornames for a lady in California, but didn`t find anymore of her Sappenfield`s.I have some of the Feiock stones at Barrens on my camcorder now...but not the couple you spoke of. I was just randomly filming. I can email you photo`s of any or all of these if you don`t have them. (List below)I stopped by there after work a bit ago, I saw aCharles Feiock born in 1804 and died Feb. 1st or 7th not sure in 1861.I DID NOT see a Sickle Feiock.some stones were on the ground, maybe the case with her stone. It was getting dark and it`s weeds past my knees. I deed to go Saturday and walk the lower part and look for more stones on the ground.These graves I saw today,Elizabeth wife of Charles F.

If not I can always go back.By the way, have you ever heard of REAP cemetery at Bradford? It was, so they say missing for about 30 years. It was covered in brush and woods. My horse fell over a tombstone there 25 yr`s ago, but I didn`t know anyone was looking for it and I wasn`t interested in genealogy then either.REAP Cmetery has alot of German names in it but NO Feiocks in it. Some surnames are Sappenfield, Sears, Beyerly, Byerly, Bracken, Lagle,Langford, Lindsey, Jonas Hon, Amos Holtzclaw, Huffstetter, Keithley, Baker, Ingram, Burford, Boston, Fouts, Dinkalaker anyway I have a list of 60 + people if anything sounds interestingJust to make sure I have this correct, are talking about Barrens Cemetery on Cemetery Road off of Hwy 135. Has a large wooden sign mentions something about settlers Indians and flowers?Or the cem off Hwy 64 out of New Salisbury heading toward Ramsey on Rooster Ch. Road?
