Actress Melody Patterson, best known for F-Troop, has died
James L. Neibaur
August 21, 2015 5:39 PM MST
Melody Patterson, an actress who did work in films and television, has
died at the age of 66. According to reports, Ms. Patterson died August
20, 2015 at a nursing home after multiple organ failure.
Patterson was only 16 years old when she debuted in the role of
Wrangler Jane on "F-Troop," but she'd been acting since the age of 5.
The Wrangler Jane character was said to be based on Doris Day's
portrayal of Calamity Jane in the 1953 movie co-starring Howard Keel.
Patterson has stated that "Calamity Jane" was her favorite movie. As
Wrangler Jane, Patterson lustily pursued Captain Parmenter, played by
Ken Berry. A running gag on the program had Jane kissing Parmenter, who
avoided her affection by stating, "Jane, please, not in front of the
men!" Patterson got the role by telling producers she'd be 18 on her
next birthday. They did not find out her real age until after seven
episodes had aired and she'd already clicked with viewers.
After the cancellation of "F-Troop," Patterson appeared on radio, on
stage, in films, and on TV, including several episodes of television's
"Hawaii Five-O," which featured her then husband James MacArthur. In
her later years, she wrote a column for the magazine "Wildest Westerns"
which dealt with western films and television series. She also enjoyed
appearing at "F-Troop" reunion gatherings, signing autographs for fans.
Patterson's death was first announced on Facebook by her personal
friend Lee Day. She indicated that Ms. Patterson broke her back several
years ago and never fully recovered. Melody's passing was then
announced by her former F-Troop co-star Larry Storch as well as other
sources.

But she was so young. Not just back then, but now.

"multiple organ failure" doesn't sound good.

True. When I hear "multiple organ failure" I immediately think cancer
that has metastisized throughout the body as the cause of the failure.
Not sure what else can lead to that other than things like poisons and
exreme radiation exposure.

She'd apparently broken her back and been in a nursing home some time.
Multiple organ failure is not unheard of in such conditions.

good shape if more than one organ goes at the same time.
A friend of my mother's had a heart attack, at the top of the stairs. The
heart attack didnt' kill her, but the broken neck from the fall did. Or
at least that's what they figured out happened.

Best Answer:
To get new ATM pin number you have to give any application at your
bank branch or contact the call centre. When you make a call, a
customer service executive who works at the call center will ask you a
number of questions which would help him or her in the process of
verifying your information. After the customer service executive has
verified that all the details provided by you are correct, his or her
colleagues will go about issuing you a new PIN number for your ATM
card. You could also visit the bank in person to request the concerned
officials for a new PIN number.

I wouldn't say "but she was so young...". You make her sound like she
was 30 or something, but overall I know what you're getting at. These
days living to 100 years old isn't as a big a deal like it once was.
It's still impressive but its not the major news story now, you seem
to have to live to 110 plus to get real notoriety now, at least that's
my impression. I also have the feeling that anyone dying before their
80th birthday is a bit too soon. Sixty-six is way too soon, epecially
for a woman.
