Born January 20, 1926 in Packard, Kentucky [Died] August 8, 2010. Edgartown, Massachusetts. American film actress. Full name Patsy Louise Neal. She studied drama at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and moved to New York in 1946 after receiving a role. The following year, she became a trainee at the Actors Studio, and won a Tony Award for her performance in "Another Part of the Forest" (1947). In 1948, she signed a contract with Warner Brothers. In her second film, The Fountainhead (1949), she established herself as an intelligent and sophisticated actress, and at the same time met Gary Cooper, who played the lead role. She later confessed in her autobiography that Cooper was the love of her life. However, her relationship with Cooper ended soon after their co-starring, and in 1953 she married the popular author Roald Dahl (divorced in 1983). She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her most famous work, Hud (1963). In 1965, she suffered several severe strokes that left her with right-sided paralysis and speech impediments, but after intensive rehabilitation she miraculously recovered in less than two years. In her comeback film, "The Subject Was Roses" (1968), she delivered a dignified performance that dispelled doubts about her chances of recovery, and was again nominated for an Academy Award. Neil |
