Biography
Alma Lucy Reville was an actress, assistant director and the wife of Alfred Hitchcock, whom she met while working as an assistant director on one of his first films. She converted to Roman Catholicism before their marriage.
The Hitchcocks had one daughter, Patricia Hitchcock, who made a few movies then retired to marry the nephew of Cardinal William O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston, and start a family, but Patricia did not get married in Boston, but rather at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City in 1952.
Alma worked on many films, but eventually began to work exclusively (many times uncredited) with her husband. As her husband had done, she eventually became a naturalized citizen of the USA. She died of natural causes at the age of 82, two years after his death.
