So much to celebrate. So extreme in so many directions.
That's a good thing.

As soon as I saw your statue on facebook I was afraid she had died so I came straight to BWW to confirm. She was such a classy woman. One of her best friends lives in my area and there have been lots of articles about her and her friend throughout the years. So, while the Kardashians and Jersey Shore get front page news, she will get a small blip on the side of the newspaper- such a shame. I just loved her voice!

I posted this in the off-topic thread...I attended the 2006 Tony Awards when she got the replacement Tony. I was in awe.

RIP
There was something so unique about her. Her face, that voice, her acting.

I actually teared up when I heard the news this morning. She was such a part of my life growing up, in films and on TV. I will never forget her performance as Mama Walton in "The Homecoming" (the TV movie that spawned "The Waltons") I've seen it several times since then, and her performance is so powerful.
And of course, everything from HUD to The Day the Earth Stood Still.
RIP to a beautiful talent.
By the way, this should be on the Main Board as well. Patricia was the very first performer to win the Best Feature Actress in a Play (Tony Award) for "Another Part of the Forest."

Flights of angels sing her to her rest. A great actress, no question. There'll never be another like her. HUD and A FACE IN THE CROWD are essential viewing.

"John Boy, are you smoking cigarettes up here?"
The Homecoming was my first introduction to Patricia Neal. My mother told me that she was a very famous actress. But I was more impressed that she was married to the author of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.
She had a difficult life. One child died of measles, one child was badly injured when his baby carriage was hit by a taxi and she had a stroke when pregnant with her fifth child.
Rest in peace.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I am very saddened by this news. She was a wonderful actress.

HUD is still one of the sexiest movies ever made and largely because of her. R.I.P. What a lady!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

The afternoon I saw SHADOWLANDS, while waiting outside the theater for the house to open I watched as Jane Alexander was heading to the stage door, and Patricia Neal was walking toward the theater. Ms. Alexander saw her and bowed down on one knee, her head nearly touching the pavement. Ms. Neal smiled and barked in that inimitable voice of hers: "Oh get up, get up. You're pretty swell too."
I love that memory of her.
I love that memory of her.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
