Introduction:
Patricia Healey was a British actress and the devoted wife of international music star Engelbert Humperdinck. Born in 1935/1936, Healey pursued acting in the 1960s and 1970s, appearing in films such as The White Bus (1964) and Wuthering Heights (1968), as well as roles on British television.
Healey met singer Engelbert Humperdinck (born Arnold George Dorsey) early in his career, and the couple married in 1964. Their partnership — both personal and at times professional — lasted more than five decades, a remarkable duration in the entertainment world. The couple had four children, and throughout their life together, Healey was a steady presence behind one of the most recognizable voices of the late 20th century.
In later years, Healey was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive form of dementia that affects memory and cognition. Engelbert publicly shared her health struggles in an effort to raise awareness about the condition, acknowledging the emotional weight it placed on their family.
