Patricia Hitchcock, who acted in several films directed by her legendary father, Alfred, has died at the age of 93.<\/p>\n

Her daughter, Katie O\u2019Connell-Fiala, told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> that Hitchcock had passed away in Thousand Oaks, California, on Monday.<\/p>\n

Born in London, Pat (as she preferred to be called) was the only child of Alfred and film editor Alma Reville, who moved with them to Los Angeles as a young girl to pursue a dream of acting.<\/p>\n

She returned home at the age of 18 to attend the prestigious RADA and later collaborated with her father on several projects, including psychological thriller Strangers on a Train, iconic horror flick Psycho and film noir Stage Fright.<\/p>\n

Pat also acted across multiple seasons of anthology series Alfred Hitchcock Presents, with guest roles in 10 episodes of the show first broadcast between 1955 and 1960.<\/p>\n

She stepped back from her career in the entertainment industry to raise her three children \u2013 Mary, Teresa and Katie \u2013 with businessman and husband Joseph O\u2019Connell Jr.<\/p>\n

Pat\u2019s later work includes 2000 documentary The Man on Lincoln\u2019s Nose, which focused on her father\u2019s frequent collaborator Robert F Boyle, on which she served as executive producer.<\/p>\n

She also wrote a book about her mother three years later titled Alma Hitchcock: The Woman Behind The Man.<\/p>

Discussing their relationship in an interview with The Guardian<\/a>, she explained: \u201cMy mother had much more to do with the films than she has ever been given credit for \u2013 he depended on her for everything, absolutely everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Pat was always quick to point out her mother\u2019s often-overlooked influence, she repeatedly stated that she had a strong relationship with her father too.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very close to my father,\u201d she told the Washington Post a few years after his death. \u201cHe used to take me out every Saturday, shopping and to lunch. On Sundays, he took me to church regularly, until I could drive. Then I\u2019d drive him to church regularly. It\u2019s because of his diligence that my religion is so strong today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pat Hitchcock is survived by her three children, six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n
