Patricia Neal played John-Boy Walton’s mom in the Waltons pilot movie “The Homecoming”. Yes, Richard Thomas was John-Boy.
She played in mother again in the surprisingly good made-for-TV All Quiet On The Western Front -- the one with Ernest Borgnine as Kat.
It is interesting that you mentioned this. I have this on DVD and it is one of my fav. Christmas movies. Patricia Neal played Mrs Walton perfectly. An Emmy quality performance. I will always remember her for this role. A great actress. Prayers to her family and friends.
Yes, I remember that movie and Patricia Neal.
