Gladys "Patsy" Pulitzer Preston (May 31, 1928 – October 28, 2011) was an American fashion model, socialite and philanthropist. The granddaughter of Joseph Pulitzer, newspaper publisher and founder of the Pulitzer Prize, she grew up in Palm Beach, Florida. In 1961, she appeared in Sports Illustrated as one of the "World's Loveliest Sportswomen", after catching a 1,230-pound (560 kg) black marlin, a then world-record catch for a woman. She modeled and appeared in various magazines. In later life, she was active in women's rights causes, particularly Planned Parenthood.
