Patricia Barnstable
- Actress
Lovely, sunny, and vibrant blonde bombshell Patricia Barnstable was
born on May 23, 1951 in Louisville, Kentucky. She's the identical twin
sister of Cyb Barnstable and the daughter of Dale and Wilma Barnstable.
Patricia graduated from Seneca High School in Louisville, Kentucky in
1969. In 1971 she was entered into a beauty contest by her mother; she
won the title Miss Kentucky in said contest and was the fifth place
runner-up in the Mis USA pageant. Barnstable attended the University of
Kentucky, where she earned degrees in both speech and theater. Patricia
began her career in show business in 1972 along with her sister Cyb
singing and dancing in Bob Hope's last USO Christmas tour of Vietnam.
Moreover, both siblings appeared in TV commercials for Doublemint Gum
and are featured together on the covers of a handful of national
magazines that include Redbook and Good Housekeeping. Patricia and Cyb
both portrayed spaceship pilots named Betty -- one's a clone and the
other is human -- on the hilarious, but sadly short-lived science
fiction comedy series "Quark." In addition, the Barnstable sisters also
acted together on episodes of the television shows "The Love Boat" and
"Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" as well as the made-for-TV
movie "Operating Room." Patricia is the co-founder of the Barnstable
Brown Foundation along with her sister Cyb and mother Wilma; this
organization has raised over $2 million for Diabetes Research. She's
the mother of a son, Christopher. Patricia still lives in her hometown
of Louisville, Kentucky and serves along with her sister Cyb as hostess
for the annual Kentucky Derby Eve party.
