Born Mildred Elizabeth Fulvia Rossi, Milicent Patrick was born sometime between 1915 and the 1930s (reports vary wildly) in El Paso, Texas. Milicent was a multi-talented woman (an actor, costumer, designer, illustrator and animator) whose name you may never have heard, but whose work you are certainly aware of. Indeed, much of Milicent’s life remains a mystery, partly due to her desire to avoid the spotlight, giving several conflicting stories to would-be biographers as to her background and real life.
