  "description": "From Wikipedia\n\nPatricia Parsons (June 9, 1931 – October 26, 2006), better\n\nknown as Patsy Parsons, sometimes credited as Patsy Lee Parsons, was an\n\nAmerican character actress who appeared in about a dozen films beginning in\n\n1937.\n\nShe was born in Parkersburg, W.Va,. but moved to Hollywood\n\nat age 5. She began acting at age 6, and mostly did child roles, notably in\n\nYankee Doodle Dandy (1942), starring James Cagney. But she is perhaps best\n\nremembered for one of her few adult roles, as the evil space tyrant\n\n\"Cleolanthe\" on the TV show Rocky Jones, Space Ranger in 1954.\n\nLike many former child stars, Parsons had difficulty finding\n\ngood adult roles. She retired shortly after leaving Rocky Jones, Space Ranger,\n\nmaking one last TV appearance on Science Fiction Theater in 1956. She was still\n\nonly in her mid-20s when she stopped acting.\n\nParsons had a busy post-entertainment career in California\n\nas the wife of banker and community activist Solon Soteras. As Pat Soteras, she\n\nworked at Pepperdine University and raised three children, Alexander,\n\nNickoletta and Anthony. She also wrote a weekly column for the Malibu Times. In\n\nher later years, she was most remembered for her work with the Agoura/Oak Park/\n\nConejo Valley Chamber of Commerce where, as its executive director, she\n\nincreased membership eightfold.\n\nIn memory of her work with the chamber, the Patricia Soteras\n\nscholarship fund was established.",
