Collins was born in Detroit, Michigan,[1] on May 7, 1935. She spent most of her childhood in orphanages and foster homes.[citation needed]
Career
Collins mentioned in interviews that hypnosis helped her recover from a nervous breakdown.[1] She later studied the art and came up with a nightclub act in which she would hypnotize volunteers from the audience.[1] She owned a nightclub on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, where she would perform her act, as well as use hypnosis for therapeutic purposes.[1] She became known as the "Hip Hypnotist".[2] At her zenith, Collins earned $4,000 per week.[1]
Collins resided in Beverly Hills until 1983. She then moved to Reno, Nevada, performing there and in Lake Tahoe through 1992, when she moved to San Bernardino with ill health.[4]
Collins also released two records; Sleep With Pat Collins! (The Hip Hypnotist) (1963) and Turn On! The Power Of The Mind (1967) featuring her hypnosis routines.[5]
Personal life
Collins had two daughters, a son, and six grandchildren (at the time of her death).[6]
