Most recently she played mostly minor supporting roles, for example as a car driver in Vertigo - From the Realm of the Dead - addressed by James Stewart . In the mid-1960s, she withdrew into private life. Only in 1975 the actress had a brief comeback in the film The Black Bird , where she again played the role of secretary Effie.

The artist was married to Thomas Wood from 1937 until her death in 1982. The marriage remained childless. Lee Patrick died of a heart attack the day before her 81st birthday.
