Update on Patty's career: In 2021 she was nominated for best actress at the Madrid Short Film Festival for her role in "Finger On The Button". Now she can honestly say it is really exciting "just to be nominated" (but she really wishes she had won!) Patty Kelley was born in Indiana but lived in 5 states before she was in kindergarten. Raised mostly in Florida and Texas she has lived in Arkansas, Florida, Russia, Connecticut and Los Angeles as an adult. A born actress and speaker she grew up performing Elvis songs and movie scenes for her family in their living room. In her quest to find her life she has worked in over 30 types of work in over 50 different jobs and traveled to 7 countries. But she knows that none of those were what she should have been. She should have been: a detective, a cop, a lawyer, the President, a villain (or maybe a doctor) and now just wants to be one on film! Her calling is to play the professional she never quite became. Very versatile she has done stand up comedy, voiceover, theatre, movies, television and spoken to groups of up to 300 people as a trainer and motivational speaker.
