Julia Sweeney has addressed some of the backlash she’s faced for her character on Saturday Night Live (SNL), Pat.
The 65-year-old actor reflected on playing Pat from 1990 to 1994 during Wednesday’s episode of The View, leading up to SNL 50: The Anniversary Special. Pat was an androgynous fictional character, created by Sweeny, who had black curly hair, thick glasses, and wore a western-style blue shirt. In 1994, Sweeney was also in a feature film, It’s Pat.
