Had a close relationship with
Dorothy Kilgallen from June 1964 until the night she died, which was November 7 - 8, 1965. Two years seven months later, started speaking on-camera to review new movies. This was on the daytime television program whose title at the time was Bob Braun's 50-50 Club. Steve A. Womack, who became Mr. Braun's producer in the 1970s, said in 2020 that videos of Mr. Pataky's spoken critiques were not saved for posterity. Not one of them exists.
