Personal Details

Bio

Patricia is perhaps best known for her work in the 1990 cult classic “Night of The Living Dead” as Barbara, the beleaguered heroine. Some may argue she is best known for her role as Lyta Alexander in the Hugo Award winning series, Babylon 5. Either way, she has been swept into a career that features horror and Science Fiction projects. She is less recognizable, but no less memorable, as the Horror Hag in Evil Dead III, Army of Darkness. Theatre being her true love, Pat was delighted to be featured in the Los Angeles Sci Fest of Plays.

Fans make a game of spotting her in the over 50 appearances in the Star Trek franchises: ST:TNG, DS9 and Voyager as well as the feature film “Generations”. Zombie fans will enjoy “Dead Air”, and sci fi fans may enjoy Pat’s book “Pleasure Thresholds, Patricia Tallman’s Babylon 5 Memoirs” , currently in its second printing!

Her recent work is helping people release their inner bad ass by leading epic quests to live their dreams of adventure and creativity in Patricia Tallman's Magical Living.

Pat's other projects include starring in the sci-fi audio thriller series “Anne Manx”, playing the evil badass, Lt. Jean Richmond.

Her favorite role is that of mother to her son, Julian.

Equally important to Patricia is her fund-raising activities for the children of Penny Lane. Through her efforts within the Science Fiction & horror community, Pat and her fans have contributed more than $350,000 to Penny Lane over the past several years. Since 1996, Pat, her friends, family and fans have made a holiday happen for the Penny Lane kids through the Be A Santa program. You can go to www.beasanta.org to join in the fun!

Fans can connect with Pat on her blog www.QuestRetreats.com, her Facebook/PatriciaTallmanPage , @Quest.Retreats4Nerds or @Patriciatallman.rocks on Instagram, or on Twitter @patriciatallman. All the links in her linktree- https://linktr.ee/patriciatallman

  • I found Patricia Tallman to be a wonderfully engaging speaker that brought many laughs to the audience. She's refreshingly open and honest, and kept us entertained with various stories from her long history working in different aspects of film production. Having both the perspective as a stunt woman as well as an actress made for a really interesting and balanced discussion, and Patricia needed no prompting from an interviewer to keep momentum, the conversation flowing naturally from one subject

  • I would just like to thank Patricia Tallman for a very entertaining evening when she kindly agreed to visit us geeks! Patricia was a very good guest, with loads of interesting anecdotes about her stunt work and her acting career. She was very friendly, very approachable, and very willing to talk to us all evening. Probably one of the best guests we have ever had. We would love it it if she made a return visit someday!
