Patty Maloney
A big thanks to Mr. Vipond for

here.
Another very grateful thanks to Mr. Collins who generously donated the
photograph of Ms. Maloney to SWAD.
Patty Maloney was born on March
17, 19?? in Perkinsville, New York, US. Her family, including her
brother and sisters, moved to Winter Park, Florida when Patty was seven years
old, in the 40's.
In Winter Park Maloney joined
Edith Royal as a featured dancer and attended Park Avenue and St. James High
Schools and graduated as most young people do, though one of her summers in high
school was spent touring with a carnival and another was spent with Ringling
Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. Just after high school Maloney
joined the Nate Eagle Troupe where she learned more about the entertainment
world than just performing, she gained valuable experience. Maloney's
mother encouraged her to attend college and have something to fall back on, just
in case, and Maloney did just that, she attended the University of Florida where
she studied and learned to be a key punch operator. This skill brought her
to New York where she worked key punch operator the a computer operator (IBM)
with National Airlines and traveled to Europe, Cuba, South and North
America. During this time she corresponded with a man she'd met at
National Airlines, Joseph Vitek, a printer from Chicago and when she returned to
New York they were married at the Actor's Chapel in New York then moved to
Vitek's hometown of Chicago after the wedding.
After a short while her
marriage ended, her husband Joseph died, sometime around 1973-4. It was
also at this time that she lost her child. Her friends and family
encouraged her to keep working and acting and that's exactly what she
did. Sid and Marty Krofft were just starting to work on a new show
called, The Far Out Space Nuts and hired Maloney nearly on the spot and it was
necessary for her to move to Los Angeles, CA so she could be close to
work. Maloney made her very first stage appearance at the age of
three and has really never stopped.
