I was unaware of her abortion in the 1940's and her support of the Pro-Life movement.
There are many movies she has made that are enjoyable to watch.
A lovely, talented, thoughtful woman.
RIP “Klatu barado nichto”
One of the biggest issues with abortion is the post abortion depression and regret. It’s nice to know that Neal did something to help others avoid this.
In a Coop biography it said that she was crazy over him. she went into a serious depression afterwards.
What a very sad personal life she had. My goodness! Rest in Peace, Patricia.
Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know about it. What a lot of tragedy she faced in her life. And, it has really changed my opinion on Gary Cooper. What a selfish jerk.
I alawys thought Gary Cooper was a hero.
But now I see in reality he was not, and Patricia Neal was the REAL hero.
We should read more about the hidden heroes of the film screen who don’t fall in line with the Marxist hedonists who populate Hollywood.
..a good friend of mine was on the crew on board the ship where they filmed “In Harms Way”—he said Patricia Neal was a very nice lady—he was in sick bay at the time...
Patricia Neal was so special. She was one of those actresses that could make brainy be sexy.
