Born into a large family, Patricia wasn’t happy as a child. Her siblings read like an all-star cast: they include Richmond Arquette, Alexis Arquette, David Arquette and Rosanna Arquette. At the age of fifteen she ran away to live with her sister. Patricia started her career with a film entitled “Pretty Smart”, which was made in 1986. One year later she got a part in the third sequel in the “Nightmare On Elmstreet” move franchise (this one entitled “Dream Warriors).

As the 1980s wore on Patricia got what to many looked like her first major role; the out of control girlfriend in “True Romance”. Starring alongside Christian Slater, she gave a performance as the character Alabama Whitman that would become a lot more common for young female roles in the 1990s. Her career on the climb, Patricia would then play alongside Hollywood legend Johnny Depp in “Ed Wood”; this would again be followed by a diverse in the David Lynch weirdness-o-rama flick “Lost Highway”.
Patricia is also famous for being married to, and then divorcing, Academy Award-winning actor Nicolas Cage. This event, while important to many, is not as interesting as Patricia’s accomplishments as an actress. Patricia has shown herself to be a versatile thespian with the ability to embrace varied roles with ease.
