“Patti liked people to think she was androgynous.  She liked them to think she  was bisexual.  She liked them to think she did drugs.  She was one of  the straightest people I knew.  She’d make sure her boyfriend’s laundry  was done before she did a show.  All she ever really wanted was a guy  who she believed was an angel, then she’d support him with every ounce  of energy she had.” 
- Lynn Goldsmith
