Patricia Lawlor "Pat" Hayes, OBE (22 December 1909 – 19 September 1998) was an English BAFTA Television Award winning character actress.
Hayes was born in Streatham, London. As a child Hayes attended the Sacred Heart School in Wandsworth.
She was featured in many radio and television comedy shows between 1940 and 1996, including Hancock's Half Hour, Ray's a Laugh, The Arthur Askey Show, The Benny Hill Show, Bootsie and Snudge and Till Death Us Do Part. She played the part of Henry Bones in the BBC Children's Hour radio programme Norman and Henry Bones - The Boy Detectives during the late 1940s.
Hayes was cast in supporting roles for films including The Bargee (1964), The NeverEnding Story (1984), A Fish Called Wanda (1988) and was also featured as Fin Raziel in the Ron Howard film Willow (1988).
Her most substantial television appearance was in the title role of Edna, the Inebriate Woman (Play for Today, 1971) for which she won a BAFTA award. She provided the character voice for comedy puppet performances for television and DVDs - e.g. Gran (Woodland Animations, 1982).
