Rick McKay's PATRICIA NEAL TRIBUTE
When filmmaker Rick McKay ("Broadway: The Golden Age Trilogy", "Fay Wray", PBS, A&E) was asked in early 2010 to host a tribute to his friend, the actress Patricia Neal, who had appeared in his films, and to interview her on stage, he happily accepted. The tribute was a benefit for the great NYC theatre company, The Peccadillo Theatre, who was mounting a revival of Lillian Hellman's "Another Part of the Forest", which had made Ms. Neal a Broadway star in 1946, winning her the first Tony Award ever given. However, shortly before the date, Neal fell and was hospitalized in California. At the last minute McKay put together this video tribute, or "virtual interview" to substitute, which was shown on stage at the benefit as a huge success. Ms. Neal's friends rallied to appear at the tribute, which happily turned into a celebration of her life hosted by McKay, with the help of her friends Joel Vigg, Cliff Robertson, Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson, Betsy von Furstenburg, Tammy Grimes and many more. Sadly, Ms. Neal was never to return to NYC, did not see the new production of "Forest" (which got rave reviews and was extended), but happily did get to see this footage as well as a tape of the tribute evening before she passed away on August 8th, 2010. A true friend, a great actress and an incredible inspiration to millions, Patricia Neal will be greatly missed . . .

Veteran actress, Patricia Neal died Sunday, 8th Of August, 2010, of lung cancer. Neal is best known for her starring roles in A Face in the Crowd (1957), Breakfast at Tiffany's ('61) and her Oscar-winning performance as Alma Brown in Hud ('63) opposite Paul Newman. In addition to those memorable films, she also appeared in numerous other pics including The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Fountainhead and was nominated again in 1968 for The Subject was Roses. On TV, the actress received three Emmy nominations for The Waltons: The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971), Tail Gunner Joe ('77) and Hallmark Hall of Fame: All Quiet on the Western Front ('79). Neal had suffered tremendously in her life and overcome those losses and illnesses. Not only did her daughter Olivia Dahl die due to complications from measles at the age of 7 years old, but her son Theo Dahl survived being hit by a taxi while in his carriage when he was a mere 4 months old. In 1965 at the age of 39, Neal suffered several strokes, which left her in a coma for 21 days. Neal credited her then husband, famed children's writer Roald Dahl (James and the Giant Peach) with helping her mend by designing her recovery routines. In 1981, Glenda Jackson played the husky-voice actress in The Patricia Neal Story, a TV biopic detailing her struggle back from the stroke. After her recovery, Neal went back to work and continued acting right up until 2009. Neal succumbed to lung cancer Sunday, August 8th, surrounded by family <b>...</b>

Gary Cooper is playing Howard Roark and Patricia Neal portrays Dominique Francon in this 1949 Movie "The Fountainhead". There are some truly romantic dialogues in this scene.... Neal says to Cooper... If it gives you pleasure to know that you are breaking me down, I will give you a greater satisfaction, I love you..... I have no pride left to stop me, I love you without dignity, without regret. And then there are dialogues on human values... Neal to Cooper... They hate you because of the greatness of your achievement, they hate you for your integrity, they hate you because they know they can neither corrupt you nor rule you.
Patricia Neal Tribute - (Once I Had a Secret Love)
This is a Genuine G-Shot in tribute to Patricia Neal who died the other day at age 84. From the NY Times by 84By ALJEAN HARMETZ Patricia Neal, an Oscar Winner Who Endured Tragedy, Dies at 84By ALJEAN HARMETZ Patricia Neal, who made her way from Kentucky's coal country to Hollywood and Broadway, winning an Academy Award and a Tony, but whose life alternated almost surreally between triumph and tragedy, died on Sunday at her home in Edgartown, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard. Ms. Neal received her Oscar, as best actress, in 1964, for her performance in "Hud" as the tough, shopworn housekeeper who did not succumb to Paul Newman's amoral charm. By then she had already endured the death of her first child and a calamitous injury to her infant son, who was brain-damaged in an accident. Then came three strokes, a year after the Oscar, leaving her in a coma for three weeks. Afterward she was semiparalyzed and unable to speak. But she learned to walk and talk again with the help of her husband, the British writer Roald Dahl. And in 1968 — despite a severely impaired memory that made it difficult to recall dialogue — she returned to the screen as the bitter mother who used her son as a weapon against her husband in the screen version of Frank Gilroy's play "The Subject Was Roses." Once again she was nominated for an Academy Award. Ms. Neal's career started swiftly and brilliantly. Before she was 21 she won a Tony and a New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for her Broadway debut in <b>...</b>

From "The Fountainhead" to "The Day the Earth Stood Still," Patricia Neal showed early promise as an actress - but her body of work was quickly overshadowed by an affair with the married Gary Cooper, which resulted in a pregnancy, an abortion and a nervous breakdown. She eventually returned Hollywood - now married to children's author Roald Dahl, and revived her film career with starring roles in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "HUD" with Paul Newman. But tragedy was always close at hand - from the death of one of her children, a serious accident to another, and then a devastating stroke that left her paralyzed and unable to work. After years of physical therapy and rehabilitation, she returned once again to the big screen in an Oscar-nominated role in "The Subject Was Roses," but many of us will always remember this Oscar, Tony and Golden Globe winning actress as the original Olivia Walton in the TV movie "The Homecoming." On this episode of "InnerVIEWS with Ernie Manouse," our 2009 conversation with screen legend, Patricia Neal.

Patricia Neal (January 20, 1926August 8, 2010) She grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she attended Knoxville High School, and studied drama at Northwestern University.
Career
After moving to New York, she accepted her first job as understudy in the Broadway production of The Voice of the Turtle. Next she appeared in Another Part of the Forest (1946), winning the 1947 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play, in the first ever presentation of the Tony awards.
Personal life
During the filming of The Fountainhead (1949), Neal had an affair with her married co-star, Gary Cooper, whom she had met in 1947 when she was 21 and he was 46. By 1950, Cooper's wife, Veronica, had found out about the relationship and sent Neal a telegram demanding they end it. Neal became pregnant by Cooper, but he persuaded her to have an abortion. At one point in their relationship, Cooper slapped Neal in the face after he caught Kirk Douglas trying to seduce her.The affair ended, but not before Cooper's daughter, Maria (now Maria Cooper Janis, born 1937), spat at Neal in public. Years after Cooper's death, Maria and her mother Veronica reconciled with Neal.
Neal met British writer Roald Dahl at a dinner party hosted by Lillian Hellman in 1951. They married on July 2, 1953, at Trinity Church in New York. The marriage produced five children:
While pregnant in 1965, Neal suffered three burst cerebral aneurysms, and was in a coma for three weeks. Dahl directed her rehabilitation and she subsequently relearned to walk and talk ("I think I'm just stubborn, that's all"). On August 4, 1965, she gave birth to a healthy daughter, Lucy.
Neal and Dahl's turbulent marriage ended in divorce in 1983 after Dahl's affair with Neal's friend, Felicity Crosland (Dahl married Crosland that same year). In 1981, Glenda Jackson played her in a television movie, The Patricia Neal Story which co-starred Dirk Bogarde as Neal's husband Roald Dahl. Neal's autobiography, As I Am, was published in 1988. In later years, Neal became Roman Catholic.
Legacy
In 1978, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville dedicated the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center in her honor. The center serves as part of Neal's advocacy for paralysis victims. She appeared in Center advertisements throughout 2006.
