Stars Hollow is so idyllic that it’s almost a shame that the town is fictional, though the people who live there are careful not to let Miss Patty get wind of their secrets. When Miss Patty teamed up with Babette, no one was safe from their scrutiny. With an arsenal of quippy one-liners and dubious tales of her days as a dancer, Miss Patty was a frequent source of comic relief. No matter who she was interacting with, Liz Torres infused humor into her lines with impeccable timing and delivery. In an interview with The TV Addict, Torres was asked if it was hard for her to get back into character for “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life,” and her answer made a lot of sense.
“Totally natural! It’s a second skin for me; it doesn’t feel like I’m acting. Sally (Struthers) does a character, and she puts a lot of energy into it, and I’m just Miss Patty; I felt like I should’ve given Miss Patty a little more color and let the words carry me,” the actor told the outlet. “I thought that Miss Patty was a tough-talking, showbiz broad, so I just really tried to sell the words.”
Since she put so much of herself into the character, it adds up that playing Miss Patty felt easy for Torres. During the show’s original and revival, that familiarity came through in her performance.
