Career


Born in 1920 in Philadelphia and raised in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, Donlon attended a convent school in Tarrytown, New York. She later trimmed a few years off her age by claiming 1926 was her year of birth when she began modeling in the mid-1940s under the name Pat Van Iver.[3] for the Walter Thornton Model Agency.[4] She began acting in 1948 with uncredited walk-on parts in movies including Dough Girls and Easter Parade.

In 1946, she was elected Queen of the Ball by the New York Press Photographers Association.[5] By 1954, she was playing credited roles in movies such as The Long Wait and Security Risk, and appearing in television series. Her television credits include roles in Have Gun - Will Travel, The Texan, Richard Diamond, Private Detective, Maverick, Perry Mason, The Jack Benny Program, 77 Sunset Strip and I Love Lucy.[6]

In 1957, Donlon was Playboy's August Playmate of the Month.[2]


Marriages


Donlon was married to Hollywood talent agent Victor Orsatti from 1949 to 1960.[7] The couple separated in 1958 after nine years of marriage, and were divorced in 1960.[8][9] She starred in Italian director Franco Rossi's 1961 film, Nude Odyssey.[10] She retired from acting the following year after marrying New York Philharmonic violinist Robert dePasquale.[6] She later divorced dePasquale and married Fernando Mendez. That union also ended in divorce.[1] All three marriages were childless.[1]


Death


Donlon died in her native Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on November 30, 2012, aged 92.[11]
