Soundtrack

From mill girl to film star was the real life story of Bradford-born Pat Paterson. A former Laidler Sunbeam girl and stage-struck, she left Lister's Mill office at fifteen to join a touring show. After doing cabaret work in London, she was seen by an agent for Fox Films and given a part in the British film The Right to Live. A five year contract with Fox followed and in America she met and married French star Charles Boyer. After making five films she left the business. Her marriage was a very happy one and when she died in 1978, Charles died just a few days later, committing suicide.
