EspañolPATRICIA LOVELL
'Patricia Lovell' is an Australian film producer whose work within the that country's film industry led her to receive the Longford Life Achievement Award in 2004 from the Australian Film Institute (AFI).[1] One of her productions, ''Gallipoli'', received an AFI Award in 1982 as best film. Two of her earlier films, ''Break of Day'' and ''Monkey Grip'', were AFI Best Film nominees.1
She has also received producing credits for the following films:1
★ '' (a 2000 made-for-television documentary)
★ ''The Perfectionist'' (1987)
★ ''Summerfield'' (1977)
★ ''Picnic at Hanging Rock'' (1975)
Lovell began her career in radio and television. She was Miss Pat on ABC TV's ''Mister Squiggle''.[2] In 1964 she became what she characterized as "one of the minor beauties"2 on the panel of ''Beauty and the Beast''. When ''The Today Show'' began in 1969), she joined that show; it was there as an interviewer where she met Peter Weir, the director with whom she would produce her two best-known films, ''Picnic at Hanging Rock'' and ''Gallipoli''.2
Lovell was likely born in either Artarmon or Willoughby, the second child and first daughter of Luticia Evelyn Forsythe and Harold George.2
Lowell's childhood was a painful one, marked by the deaths of three of her siblings (one of whom died the day she was born) and the divorce of her parents.2 She attended Presbyterian Ladies' College, Armidale but "didn't do well in the Leaving at all" and failed to get a university pass.2
Lovell met her husband Nigel through the Metropolitan Theatre in Sydney; the two had two children.2 Lovell's fame from television meant that their divorce became front page news of ''The Sun''.2
