Virginia Patton – 95
Virginia Patton is a former actress and a retired entrepreneur. She was pursuing a degree at the University of Southern California when she decided to audition for a few acting projects. She only spent a few years in the industry and had a number of film projects to her name. Her early career involved her in collaborating with screenwriter William C. DeMille. Patton also had a string of insignificant film roles before her success in It’s A Wonderful Life in 1946.
The film gave Patton the spark she needed after being the only woman signed to do the movie by the legendary Frank Capra. She retired from acting in the late ’40s with her last film, The Lucky Stiff. Virginia focused on raising her own family with her husband Cruise W. Moss. However, a year away from their 70th anniversary, her husband met his demise in 2018. Virginia is now 95 years old.
