The celebrity biographer, who wrote bestsellers of Marlon Brando, Jane Fonda and more, died on April 2 of complications of coronavirus. She was 86.

“Patti was more than a great writer. She was an inspiration and a pillar of support to so many wonderful people. And she was so dear to me. She was the youngest and most vibrant 86-year-old I know. I last spoke to her on March 10th.
