"Patti Tippo's acting career began with a bang, or rather, with a revealing scene in her debut film, 10 to Midnight (1983). As the brunette 'Party Girl', she delivered a steamy performance that involved more than just her acting skills. Despite this early exposure, Tippo didn't become a regular fixture on Mr. Skin's radar until nearly three decades later, when she reprised her ample assets as Adelle in HBO's short-lived series Luck (2011). In between these topless turns, and even afterwards, Tippo maintained a steady stream of work across both television and film, often toggling between brunette and blonde roles.

She portrayed a 'tanned and sultry blonde' in the Gary Oldman-starrer Sid and Nancy (1986), and appeared alongside Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton in Brain Dead (1990). In Ed Wood (1994), Tippo played a nurse alongside Johnny Depp and Sarah Jessica Parker, while her role as a mom tourist in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995) gave her the chance to share the screen with Jim Carrey. She also co-starred with Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire (1996), playing another maternal character, and appeared in The Fan (1996) alongside Robert De Niro and Ellen Barkin as a shopkeeper.

Tippo's resume includes notable credits such as John Malkovich's mother in Being John Malkovich (1999) and a clerk in Tim Robbins' directorial debut Cradle Will Rock (1999), where she acted alongside Joan and John Cusack. Notably, Mr. Skin ensured the inclusion of Infidelity/Hard Fall (1997), in which Tippo played Belle opposite Joris Stuyck and Lisa Moncure, proving that her career isn't solely defined by her on-screen nudity."
