Patty McCormack remembers ‘The Bad Seed
It’s been 60 years since William March’s chilling novel, “The Bad Seed,” was released as a successful but shocking 1956 film. Preceded by a long-running Broadway play, both starred Patty McCormack as the malicious child, Rhoda Penmark.
A manipulative, selfish little girl – a “Bad Seed” – Rhoda has no moral compass and stops at nothing to satisfy her wants.
Today, she would be classified as a sociopathic killer.
Her mother, played by Nancy Kelly, eventually suspects Rhoda’s wicked ways and worries that her daughter has inherited her evil nature from her grandmother, a notorious serial killer.
McCormack says she is amazed that the film continues to garner raves from first-time viewers, including fellow actors.
“There was a time when you just didn’t talk about your old work because it smacked of being a has-been,” she said.
“But now I find colleagues are fascinated when they learn I was the kid in ‘The Bad Seed.’”
