Career
Born in 1920 in Philadelphia and raised in Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania, Donlon attended a convent school in Tarrytown, New York. She later trimmed a few years off her age by claiming 1926 was her year of birth when she began modeling in the mid-1940s under the name Pat Van Iver.[2] for the Walter Thornton Model Agency.[3] She began acting in 1948 with uncredited walk-on parts in movies including Dough Girls and Easter Parade.
In 1946, she was elected Queen of the Ball by the New York Press Photographers Association.[4] By 1954, she was playing credited roles in movies such as The Long Wait and Security Risk, and appearing in television series. Her television credits include roles in Have Gun - Will Travel, The Texan, Richard Diamond, Private Detective, Maverick, Perry Mason, The Jack Benny Program, 77 Sunset Strip and I Love Lucy.[5]
In 1957, Donlon was Playboy's August Playmate of the Month.[1]
