Patricia Barry, the veteran actress of stage and screen who was a standout on such soap operas as Days of Our Lives<\/em>, All My Children<\/em> and Guiding Light<\/em>, has died. She was 93.<\/p>\n

Barry, one of the earliest members of Women in Film and a former president of the nonprofit advocacy organization, died peacefully Tuesday at her home in Los Angeles, her publicist announced.<\/p>\n

In the movies, Barry starred in Send Me No Flowers<\/em> as the soon-to-be divorced neighbor whom Doris Day suspects is having an affair with her husband Rock Hudson, and she played Glenn Ford's former mistress in Delbert<\/span> Mann's Dear Heart<\/em>. Both films were released in 1964.<\/p>\n

Also that year, Barry appeared in the crime drama Kitten With a Whip<\/em> (1964), starring Ann-Margret<\/span>, and starred as Jack Klugman's<\/span> spendthrift wife on the short-lived NBC sitcom Harris Against the World<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On NBC's Days of Our Lives<\/em>, Barry portrayed Addie Horton Williams, who was married to the character played by Bill Hayes, from 1971-74. She then had a rather interesting turn as Peg English — who raised her adopted daughter Brooke (Julia Barr) while running an international drug cartel under the alias The Cobra — on ABC's All My Children<\/em> from 1980-81.<\/p>\n

On CBS' Guiding Light<\/em> from 1984-87, Barry sparkled as the conniving Southern belle "Miss Sally" Gleason, then played upper-crust matriarch Isabelle Alden on the ABC soap Loving<\/em> in the '90s<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Patricia White was born Nov. 16, 1922, in Davenport, Iowa. Her father was a doctor who cared for rural families, and her mother was the youngest of 14 children. She attended Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., where she trained with Maude Adams — who played Peter Pan on Broadway in 1905 — and then studied under Sanford Meisner<\/span> in New York.<\/p>\n

Her first professional role came in a 1944 production of Laughing Water,<\/em> by Henry and Phoebe Ephron<\/span> (the parents of Nora and Delia), and she soon appeared on Broadway in Calico Wedding<\/em>. Later, she was Steve Allen's co-star in The Pink Elephant<\/em>. <\/p>\n

She won a Rita Hayworth look-alike contest, was signed by Warner Bros. and made her big-screen debut as a showgirl in Her Kind of Man<\/em> (1946). She went on to appear in such films as The Beast With Five Fingers<\/em> (1946); Joan Crawford's Humoresque<\/em> (1946); The Man I Love<\/em> (1947) with Robert Alda<\/span> and Ida Lupino<\/span>; The Wreck of the Hesperus<\/span> <\/em>(1948); Gene Autry's<\/span> Riders of the Whistling Pines<\/em> (1949); The Tattooed Stranger<\/em> (1950); and First Love<\/em> (1954).<\/p>\n

She co-starred with William Frawley<\/span>, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris<\/span>, Whitey Ford and other New York Yankees in the spring-training-set Safe at Home!<\/em> (1962).<\/p>\n

Barry starred in two episodes of The Twilight Zone<\/em> and showed up on such series as Perry Mason<\/em>, Rawhide<\/em>, Gunsmoke<\/span><\/em>, Alfred Hitchcock Presents<\/em>, Thriller<\/em>, Route 66<\/em>, My Three Sons<\/em>, Three's Company<\/em>, Dallas,<\/em> Murder, She Wrote <\/em>and <\/em>PBS' Ghostwriter<\/em>, where she played a movie star.<\/p>\n

An astute businesswoman, Barry leased fully furnished homes to visiting stars, directors and other dignitaries in Los Angeles and New York. Her tenants included Peter Ustinov<\/span>, Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward, Angela Lansbury<\/span>, Paula Prentiss<\/span> & Richard Benjamin, Joshua Logan, Don Rickles<\/span> and Peter Gallagher. George Roy Hill was living in her house on Beverly Drive when he directed his Oscar-winning Butch Cassidy and the Sundance <\/em>Kid (1969).<\/p>\n

Barry, who had a fondness for Yorkshire Terriers, was the recipient of Women in Film's prestigious Founder's Award in 1999. In 2004, she starred in Martha Mitchell Speaks<\/em>, a one-woman show in New York produced by Dorothea Petrie<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Her husband, Philip Barry Jr<\/span>., who produced plays, films (The Mating Game<\/em>) and telefilms for ABC, died in 1998. He was the son of playwright Philip Barry, and after her husband's death, she authorized all productions of Philip Barry plays, including stagings<\/span> in London of High Society<\/em> and The Philadelphia Story<\/em>, starring Kevin Spacey<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Survivors include her daughters Miranda Barry, a former executive in charge of global Sesame Street <\/em>productions, and Stephanie; son-in-law Mark; grandchildren Alixanne<\/span> and Hailey; and godchildren Tracy and Stephen.<\/p>\n

Memorial services are planned for early 2017 in Los Angeles and New York.<\/p>\n
