Pat Kramer

Pat Kramer is the main protagonist of the 1981 comedy film The Incredible Shrinking Woman. She is portrayed by actress Lily Tomlin.
==Biography==
Living in Tasty Meadows, Pat is a suberban housewife and mother of two children. Vance, Pat's husband, works as an advertising executive, which one day leads to her being exposed to an experimental perfume and other chemicals from his company. This causes Pat to begin shrinking; at first only gradually, but soon it becomes rapid, eventually being forced to live in a dollhouse. As a result, Pat becomes a celebrity of sorts, even appearing on The Mike Douglas Show.
However, this attracts the attention of a group of mad scientists, who wish to shrink everyone in the world. Kidnapping her after making it seem she perished in the kitchen garbage disposal, they proceed to experiment on Pat to try and discover her secret. She escapes with help from a kind custodian and an intelligent gorilla named Sydney, and reveals her experience to a crowd of people. By this point, Pat is close to disappearing, and says her goodbyes to her family before shrinking down to a microscopic size, seemingly dying for real. Fortunately, she falls into a puddle of spilled household chemicals, which cause her to grow back to her original size. As she is celebrating her homecoming, Pat notices that her wedding ring is tight and her foot is causing her shoe to split open, implying that she is still growing.
