Bosworth attended the Actors Studio alongside famous figures such as Steve McQueen, Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman, and Jane Fonda. She later had starring roles in the television shows Naked City and The Patty Duke, and acted opposite Audrey Hepburn in The Nun's Story.

Bosworth also posed for the famous photographer Diane Arbus, and later wrote her biography. This biography would later be adapted into the 2006 film Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus, starring Nicole Kidman.

Below, we're pleased to share a video Open Road Media made with Patricia Bosworth in 2012. In the video, Bosworth discusses getting her start as an actor, her Mark Twain-inspired approach to writing biographies, and why she is so drawn to tormented people.
