RIP Virginia Patton and Leon Vitali
Here is my combined remembrance of two celebrities who passed away today:
Remembering Virginia Patton 1925-2022
Patton (2nd from left) in It’s a Wonderful Life
Actress Virginia Patton has died at 97. She played Ruth Dakin in Frank Capra’s classic It's a Wonderful Life. She was the last surviving adult cast member of that film. She was great as Ruth, the sister-in-law of George Bailey played by Jimmy Stewart! After 1949, she left acting and became a businesswoman.

Remembering Leon Vitali 1948-2022
Vitali behind Kubrick
Leon Vitali has died at 74. The British actor had some success in the U.K., but it was his performance as Lord Bullingdon, the step son to the title character in Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon. Through that production, Vitali and Kubrick formed a friendship. After that production, Vitali decided to step away from the spotlight and learn more about the filmmaking side alongside Kubrick. He served as Kubrick’s assistant as well as casting on The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut. In the 2017 documentary Filmworker, it profiled Vitali (read my review here). The biggest revelation of that doc is that an actor would step away from the spotlight and potential fame and fortune in favor of being a right hand man of a legendary director. Although he did have a small part in Eyes Wide Shut as Red Cloak.

In addition to his work with Kubrick, he worked with Eyes Wide Shut co-star Todd Field on In the Bedroom and Little Children.
