Birth 26 april 1894
Death 6 february 1973 (at 78 years)

Miss DuPont (April 28, 1894 – February 6, 1973) was an American film actress and fashion designer. Sometimes credited as Patty DuPont, she was born Patricia Hannon in Frankfort, Kentucky, though sources sometimes state her place of birth as Frankfort, Indiana. She appeared as a wealthy and naive American woman seduced by Erich von Stroheim's odious count in Foolish Wives (1922). Although Stroheim is credited with discovering her, she had already made several films beginning in 1919 with The Day She Paid.

She was the second wife of Sylvanus Stokes. They met while he was traveling in Los Angeles shortly after his 1926 divorce from his first wife, Margaret Fahnestock Stokes, and were married in January, 1928. She was living on Via Linda in Palm Beach, Florida, near the Palm Beach Country Club, in 1958. Miss Dupont died in Palm Beach in 1973.

Biography

Patricia Hannon fait une assez brève carrière au cinéma (exclusivement muet), apparaissant dans vingt-huit films américains, où elle est généralement créditée Miss DuPont. Son premier film, comme Patricia Hannan , est Lombardi, Ltd. de Jack Conway (avec Bert Lytell et Alice Lake), sorti en 1919.

Par la suite, citons Folies de femmes d'Erich von Stroheim (1922, sans doute son film le plus connu, avec le réalisateur, Maude George et Mae Busch), La Première Femme de Sidney Franklin (1923, avec Monte Blue et Marie Prevost), Raffles de King Baggot (1925, avec House Peters et Hedda Hopper), A Slave of Fashion d'Hobart Henley (1925, avec Norma Shearer et Lew Cody), ou encore Mantrap de Victor Fleming (1926, avec Clara Bow et Ernest Torrence).

Ses deux derniers films sortent en 1927, dont Hula du même Victor Fleming (avec Clara Bow et Clive Brook), où elle est créditée Patricia Dupont. Mariée peu après (début 1928), elle se retire alors définitivement de l'écran.
