Patricia Barnstable was born on May 23, 1951 in Louisville, Kentucky. She's the identical twin sister of Cyb Barnstable and the daughter of Dale and Wilma Barnstable. Patricia graduated from Seneca High School in Louisville, Kentucky in 1969. In 1971 she was entered into a beauty contest by her mother; she won the title Miss Kentucky in said contest and was the fifth place runner-up in the Mis USA pageant.
Barnstable attended the University of Kentucky, where she earned degrees in both speech and theater. Patricia began her career in show business in 1972 along with her sister Cyb singing and dancing in Bob Hope's last USO Christmas tour of Vietnam. Moreover, both siblings appeared in TV commercials for Doublemint Gum and are featured together on the covers of a handful of national magazines that include Redbook and Good Housekeeping. Patricia and Cyb both portrayed spaceship pilots named Betty -- one's a clone and the other is human -- on the hilarious, but sadly short-lived science fiction comedy series "Quark." In addition, the Barnstable sisters also acted together on episodes of the television shows "The Love Boat" and "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" as well as the made-for-TV movie "Operating Room."
Patricia is the co-founder of the Barnstable Brown Foundation along with her sister Cyb and mother Wilma; this organization has raised over $2 million for Diabetes Research. She's the mother of a son, Christopher. Patricia still lives in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky and serves along with her sister Cyb as hostess for the annual Kentucky Derby Eve party.
