Patricia Cullen (composer)

Patricia Cullen (1951-1991 ) was the Canadian-born composer of the music scores for the original Care Bears movie trilogy of the 1980s. She also wrote the music for Unfinished Business (1984), the Oscar-nominated documentary After the Axe (1982) and Rock and Rule (1983). Patricia was also a member of the Toronto New Wave band Rough Trade. She died suddenly in 1991 while in Toronto investigating her business manager who was allegedly embezzling from her.

Patricia's legacy lives on through Pappa D's Recording Studio in Carrying Place, Ontario, Canada. Sean Doyle, owner/engineer of Pappa D's was Patricia's nephew. A portrait of Patricia hangs in the entrance of the studio in her honour.
