Was interesting to watch Patti morph from a quite chubby, not very stylish young lady in the early 1950s to this gorgeous, trim fashion-setting icon just a few years later. As the weight came off her beautiful features, particularly the striking angles of her face, emerged. And it became apparent she made any gown she wore spectacular. Patti was an unusual show business person. Low key, practical, quite shy, very focused and at bottom line a nice girl from Oklahoma.
