Sarah Patterson

Sarah Patterson (born ) is an English film actress. Patterson was raised in Camden Town by her father, David Llewelyn Hood Patterson, a General practitioner (GP) of welsh origin working for the National Health Service (NHS) and his spouse. She attended South Hampstead High School, an independent school for girls in Swiss Cottage, London.

Patterson's acting debut at the age of 14 was accidental. Planning to attend an audition to provide moral support to a friend, she was noticed by director Neil Jordan and cast in the lead role as Rosaleen, a Little Red Riding Hood counterpart, in gothic-horror film ''The Company of Wolves'' (1984).

After the film's release, she returned to school completing her O-levels in 1986. Patterson then starred in another fairy tale-inspired film in 1987, playing the titular heroine in Cannon Films' ''Snow White,'' which was shot on location in Israel.

Nevertheless, neither of these pictures were great commercial successes. After ''Snow White'', Patterson secured a couple of movie offers, but none really impressed her enough to accept and she decided to retire from the industry at the age of 17.

Patterson briefly reprised acting in two films since, both produced by Valiant Doll, her friend Lisa Gornick's independent film production company. The Valiant Doll film ''Do I Love You?'' marked her return to film after an absence of over a decade, and she later appeared in ''Tick Tock Lullaby'', albeit, in a supporting role.
