Patsy Kelly (born Bridget Sarah Veronica Rose Kelly; January 12, 1910 – September 24, 1981) was an American actress and comedian known for her roles in Rosemary's Baby (1968) and Freaky Friday (1976), as well as a series of comedy shorts starring Thelma Todd in the early-to-mid 1930's. Although blacklisted from major studio work due to her sexuality in the 1940’s, Kelly saw a career resurgence in her later years as a performer, winning a Tony Award for her performance in the 1971 revival of No, No, Nanette on Broadway.
