Patricia Bosworth, an actress who once starred alongside Audrey Hepburn and later wrote biographies of stars including Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift, has died aged 86 after contracting coronavirus.
Bosworth’s stepdaughter Fia Hatsav told The New York Times that pneumonia brought on by the virus was the cause of death. The actress died on Thursday in New York.
Bosworth played a nun opposite Hepburn in the 1959 classic The Nun’s Story. Along with Brando and Clift, she also wrote biographies of actress Jane Fonda and famed photographer Diane Arbus, who photographed Bosworth in a Greyhound bus advertisement.
Her biography on Arbus served as the base for the 2006 film Fur: An Imaginary Portrait Of Diane Arbus, which starred Nicole Kidman.
