Patricia Crowley, who starred as the harried suburban wife and mother of four kids and a sheepdog on the 1960s NBC comedy Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, has died. She was 91.

Crowley died Sunday of natural causes in Los Angeles, her son, Jon Hookstratten, executive vp administration and operations at Sony Pictures Entertainment, announced.

Crowley was “introduced” to the movie world in the Paramount comedy Forever Female (1953), playing a perky young actress who wants the role of an ingenue in a Broadway drama that a veteran actress (Ginger Rogers) wants the playwright (William Holden) to retool for her.

The Pennsylvania native also appeared in two Martin & Lewis comedies, Money From Home (1953) and Hollywood or Bust (1956), the duo’s final film together; starred opposite Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck in the Douglas Sirk melodrama There’s Always Tomorrow (1956); and played Jeffrey Hunter’s terrified wife in Key Witness (1960), directed by Phil Karlson.

Her survivors include her husband, television producer and executive Andy Friendly (Entertainment Tonight, Tom Snyder’s The Tomorrow Show), whom she wed in 1986.

Before that, Crowley was married to the late Ed Hookstratten, the powerful sports and entertainment attorney who represented the likes of Elvis Presley, Johnny Carson, Tom Brokaw and Vin Scully.
