I loved Patricia Neal, one of my favorite old time actresses. I wasn't aware she had passed.
So smart, beautiful, strong. Her voice alone made me want to be her!
Funny, I've not though of her for years, but you've given me a wonderful reminder of her qualities!
Loved her! One of my favorite of that generation.

I loved Patricia Neal and think she was very badly treated by Roald Dahl. No news of her death here, thank you for letting me know of it.
I always enjoyed her acting. She was definitely a strong women to to through all that heartache and come out ahead.
