Patricia Wilder

Patricia 'Honeychile' Wilder (September 8, 1913-August 11, 1995) was an American film actress of the late 1930s.

Born in Macon, Georgia, Wilder had made her way to Hollywood via New York City by the mid-1930s to pursue a career in acting. She had first worked as a showgirl for Bob Hope while in New York City, in the Palace Theater. She received her first film role in 1936, having a minor part alongside Jimmy Stewart in "Speed". She followed this with two uncredited roles that same year, as well as a credited role alongside Gloria Stewart and Lee Tracy in "Wanted: Jane Turner". She stayed in close allience with Bob Hope, working for him on radio shows during her entire career, and had her first film role alongside him in the 1936 film "Walking on Air".

She had two film appearances in 1937, the first in a minor role in the film "New Faces of 1937", which starred Milton Berle and Joe Penner, among others, and the second in "On Again Off Again" alongside Marjorie Lord and Robert Woolsey. In 1938 she had minor roles in four films, the biggest of which was "My Lucky Star",starring Buddy Ebsen and Cesar Romero, along with another Bob Hope film, "Little Miss Broadway". Her last film was "Thanks for the Memory", starring Bob Hope and Shirley Ross, a spinoff film to their hit song "Thanks for the Memory". Dissatisfied with the path of her career, Wilder retired from acting after that film.

Her second husband was Albert Cernadas, an Argentine millionaire. In 1949 she married her third husband, Prince Fritz Alexander Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfurst, with whom she would remain married until his death in 1984.

Known as Honeychile, she died in New York City in 1995.
