Patricia Ann Sheehan, also known as Patricia Sheehan Crosby (September 7, 1931 – January 14, 2006) was an American actress and model. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its October 1958 issue.
Sheehan's father, Arthur Edmond Sheehan, was an automotive engineer and businessman and her mother, Gladys Anna Larson, worked at a hospital. Her parents divorced in 1935, just a few years after she was born. In 1942, her brother, Arthur, a triple-A league pitcher, was drafted into the United States Army. Working as a gunner on a Flying Fortress, he was promoted to staff sergeant and died after his plane was shot down over Germany; only two of nine people survived. He was later added to the San Francisco Hall of Fame.
In 1949, she won the local Miss Milkmaid pageant, which launched her career. Sheehan had her first chance at fame when she won first place in the Miss San Francisco Pageant of 1950: her prize was a Gensler Lee diamond ring. She took honors for Miss San Francisco and flew to Santa Cruz, California to be on Jim Davis's KCBS Radio Show and take part in the Miss California Pageant. Shortly after the divorce, she participated in the Miss California Pageant of 1951. Two years later, in 1953, her father died of diabetes. Sheehan dated and married George Von Duuglas-Ittu on January 9, 1951 in Carson City, Nevada. Von Duuglas-Ittu was a studio agent and assistant director. They divorced on January 6, 1954. Together, they had one child, Franz Nicholas Gregory Von Duuglas-Ittu.
Sheehan made it into her first magazine, Comedy, on July 1953. She later got into acting, performing in her first movie: The Adventures of Hajji Baba. She posed for magazines such as TV Fan and People Today. In 1955, she finally got to speak on camera in her first dialogue role in Son of Sinbad. Sheehan was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for October 1958, tied with Mara Corday. Her centerfold was photographed by Sam Wu.
