She also played the lead in films such as James Whale's Wives Under Suspicion (1938) and Robert Florey's Disbarred (1939). Patrick retired from acting in films in 1948 and later, with her third husband Thomas Cornwell Jackson, became a producer of the Perry Mason television series (1957–1966). She died from leukemia at age 69 in Los Angeles. Description above from the Wikipedia article Gail Patrick, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia
