Patricia Driscoll(1927-2020)

 She was not on the list.

Patricia Driscoll was born on December 17, 1927 in London, England, UK. She was an actress, known for The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955), Danger Man (1960) and The Other Man (1956). She was married to Duncan Lamont. She died on January 2, 2020.

Trained as an actress at RADA, Driscoll made her first television appearances in 1953 on Whirligig and then as a police sergeant in the series Scotland Yard in the episode "The Silent Witness" in 1954. From 1955 to 1957, she introduced Picture Book, a BBC Television series that appeared on Mondays as part of the Watch with Mother cycle and encouraged children to make things. She had a catchphrase: "Do you think you could do this? – I am sure you could if you tried". Driscoll left Picture Book in 1957 to take over from Bernadette O'Farrell the part of Maid Marian opposite Richard Greene in the ITV series The Adventures of Robin Hood for 37 episodes in series 3 and 4. Her place in Picture Book was taken by Vera McKechnie in a further series in 1962–63.

Driscoll’s other numerous television appearances included: The Vise (1958), Hawaiian Eye (1959), Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse: Murder in Gratitude (1959), Danger Man (1961 & 1964), Second Time Around (six episodes, 1974), The Good Life (1977), Kidnapped (mini-series, 1978), and Into The Labyrinth (1981).
