Pat McCall(1928-2020)

Pat McCall was born to J.W. Patterson, a civil engineer, and Margaret McCall a movie publicist for Fox Studios. When his mother and father separated in 1935, his mother, acting as his agent, worked to get him parts in movies using the name Pat McCall. Pat worked as an extra from about 1935 to about 1945, almost always in the background when groups of children were needed in a scene. According to the account books left by Margaret, he was paid for at least 50 movies, though it is not clear whether he actually made the final cut in all of them. He can be seen in the party scene for "the Littlest Rebel" with Shirley Temple and had a substantial part in "Pepper" with Jane Withers.
