[AceXX]

Here's Tina Carwile's mini biog of Trisha from IMDb.

Patricia Ann Ruth Noble was born on February 3, 1944 in Sydney, Australia to a popular Australian theater family. Her father, Buster Noble, was a well known comedian, singer and dancer, and her mother, Helen de Paul, was a noted choreographer and producer. At the age of six, she performed on the Saturday radio program, Anthony Horden's Children's Party. She also worked in her parents' stage productions and their variety show. At age 14, Patsy Ann became one of the youngest qualified ballet teachers in Australia. In 1960, at the age of 16, she made her first television appearance as a guest-star on one of Australia's well-known TV shows, Keith Walshe's Youth Show. Impressed with the youngster, Brian Henderson, the Australian equivalent to Dick Clark, immediately signed her as a regular on his show, 'Bandstand'.

Around the same time, Patsy Ann signed a deal with the HMV label and issued her debut single, `I Love You So Much It Hurts' in November 1960. She released three more singles on HMV of which 'Good Looking Boy' became her biggest hit when it reached #6 in Melbourne and #16 in Sydney.

In 1961, she was the winner of the first Logie Award for the Best Female Singer on Australian Television. She followed that with a successful acting debut at the Independent Theatre, Sydney, playing the lead role of Carmel in The Grotto. Shortly thereafter, Patsy Ann and her mother left for London to further her career. She launched her British career in 1963 and shared her first BBC radio show with 'The Beatles', with whom she also appeared on British television. During this period, she recorded for EMI (England and France) with some chart success and performed at the London Palladium and at the Olympia Theatre in Paris.

By 1965, she had turned to acting, taking the role of Francesca in the British thriller _Death is a Woman (1966)_. She toured England with Cliff Richard and then began to work on English television in dramatic and variety shows. In 1967, she married law student, Allan Sharpe. During that year, she changed her stage name from Patsy Ann to Trisha and continued to work in British TV and film. In her early 20s, she appeared on an Englebert Humperdinck musical special and was seen by an American producer who signed her to star in revue at the Las Vegas Sands Hotel. After a six-month engagement, she moved to Los Angeles and made her home there, making guest appearances on various TV shows. Trisha returned to Australia briefly in the early 70s, and starred in the stage musical, 'Sweet Charity'. After seven years of marriage, she and Allan divorced and she threw herself into her work. Upon her return to the United States, she worked extensively in television series, miniseries, and feature films.

In 1976 she wed American fashion model, Scott MacKenzie and the following year gave birth to their son, Patrick. But, after four years of marriage, the couple divorced in 1980. Despite personal setbacks, Trisha's acting career continued to thrive as she co-starred with 'Don Knotts' and Tim Conway in the feature film, _Private Eyes, The (1980) and she landed the role of Detective Rosie Johnson in the Aaron Spelling / Robert Stack police drama, "Strike Force" (1981).

In 1983 her father, Buster, had a heart attack and was not expected to live long. At that point, Trisha made a difficult and life changing decision. She decided to leave her successful acting career in Hollywood to return home to Australia to be with her family. She enjoyed seven years with her father before his death in July 1990. In 1985, Trisha married pharmaceutical scientist, Peter Field, and started the mineral-water business, Noble Beverages. Several years later, though, her third marriage ended in divorce and the business fell on hard times. At that point, Trisha decided to sell the business and get back to her first love -- show business.

In 1997 a 25-song CD collection of her early 1960s recordings was released: The Story of Patsy Ann Noble: Hits & Rarities. In August she filmed a small role in the CBS miniseries, _"Blonde (2001) (mini)_ and she was cast in a secret role in _Star Wars: Episode II (2002)_, due for release in 2002.

Shortly thereafter, Trisha was cast to co-star with David Campbell in the musical, Shout! in the role of Thelma O'Keefe, mother of Australian rock 'n roll star, Johnny O'Keefe. The musical opened January 4, 2001 in Melbourne, Australia and a cast recording followed in March.

To top it all, she was nominated in May for an Australian Entertainment 'MO' Award in the category: Female Musical Theatre Performer of the Year for her role in Shout!
