Patricia Hitchcock & Joseph E. O’Connell

Meeting one’s future father-in-law is a scary situation for any one. But when that father-in-law happens to be the master of suspense, it’s gotta be downright terrifying.

On January 17, 1952, Patricia Hitchcock, actress and daughter of the great Alfred Hitchcock, married Joseph E. O’Connell. The ceremony took place at Our Lady Chapel at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York.

Fifty-eight years later, the couple have three grown daughters, several grandchildren and live in Solvang, CA.
