It's A Wonderful Life, a Christmas film that has long stood up to time, has long been around for decades. Fans around the world have consistently voted the film as one of the best festive films ever produced, and as a result, the iconic cast has a long place in movie enthusiasts' hearts. Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, and Lionel Barrymore all appeared in the iconic film based on Philip Van Doren Stern's "The Greatest Gift." In August 2022, actress Virginia Patton, who played Jimmy Stewart's sister-in-law Ruth Dakin Bailey, died at the age of 97. Following the death of the last surviving adult actor from the holiday classic, FEMAIL looks back at the iconic cast's career, 76 years after it was announced.

Virginia Patton, Jimmy Stewart's sister-in-law, Ruth Dakin Bailey, in the classic film It's a Wonderful Life, has died. She was 97 years old. The actress was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on June 25, 1925, and she was niece of General George S. Patton. When she was still an infant, her family moved to Portland, Oregon, where she was destined to attend the University of Southern California. She worked with playwright turned screen writer William C. deMille, who was a founder of the USC film academy while she was there. He was the older brother of director Cecil B. DeMille. It was this connection that resulted in Patton's appointment with director Frank Capra.
