Born Patricia Betsy Hrunek on November 1, 1926 in East Chicago, Indiana, Palmer studied at DePaul University in Chicago. Afterwards she studied at New York's Actors Studio and worked as a secretary. She returned to the Midwest in the early 1950s to perform in Wisconsin and Illinois. From there here career grew as she began to appear on television, becoming a staple on several shows in the 1960s. In 1955 she returned to New York to appear on Broadway in The Grand Prize, with later roles in Forty Carats and South Pacific. 1955 also saw her film career begin, which would include appearances in Mister Roberts and The Long Gray Line. Palmer⁰́₉s career provided steady work in television and theater throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The 1980s saw her enter the genre of horror films with her initial appearance in the original Friday the 13th film, which created a niche of film appearances for Ms. Palmer for the coming years.
