I remember her appearance at the Academy Awards a few years after suffering a stroke.
She came out on stage from behind the curtain to a standing ovation.
What she accomplished at that time, when stroke rehabilitation was much more chancey, was amazing.
She always gave credit to her husband Roald Dahl for his persistance in encouraging her.
She was a flawed human being, as are we all, but a authentic American success story.
She was tremendous in “The Subject was Roses” with a young Martin Sheen in addition to “Hud.”
RIP Patricia Neal.
I loved reading both of your posts, thanks.

I remember seeing her play herself years ago in a made-for-tv movie about her stroke and recovery.
