After appearing in several films in the early 1940s, she was cast in her most well-known role as Ruth Dakin Bailey in Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life (1946). In 1949, Patton retired from acting, with her final film credit being The Lucky Stiff (1949). Early lifePatton was born in Cleveland, Ohio[1] to Marie (née Cain) and Donald Patton. She was raised in her father's hometown of Portland, Oregon,[2] where her family relocated when she was an infant.[3] She is a niece of General George S. Patton.[4] Patton graduated from Jefferson High School in Portland, and then relocated to Los Angeles, California, where she attended the University of Southern California.[5] CareerWhile a student the University of Southern California, Patton began to audition for acting parts. She collaborated in plays with screenwriter William C. deMille while in college.[5] She had several insignificant film appearances before being cast in Capra's It's a Wonderful Life (1946) as Ruth Dakin Bailey, the wife of George Bailey's younger brother Harry. Although Capra did not know Patton personally, she read the role for him and he signed her to a contract. Patton later said that she was the only girl the famous director ever signed in his whole career. Patton still gives interviews about It's a Wonderful Life and is today the last surviving credited member of the adult actors in the film (a number of child actors are also still alive). Patton made only four films after It's a Wonderful Life, including her first lead in the B-Western Black Eagle (1948).[7] She appeared in the drama The Burning Cross (1946), a film about a World War II veteran who becomes embroiled with the Ku Klux Klan upon returning to his hometown.{{Sfn|Berry|Berry|2007|p=48}} Personal lifePatton was married to Cruse W.
