Patricia Neal (born Patsy Louise Neal; January 20, 1926 – August 8, 2010) was an American actress of stage and screen. She is well known for, among other roles, playing World War{{nbs}}II widow Helen Benson in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), radio journalist Marcia Jeffries in A Face in the Crowd (1957), wealthy matron Emily Eustace Failenson in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), and the worn-out housekeeper Alma Brown in Hud (1963) (for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress). She also featured as the matriarch in the television film The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971); her role as Olivia Walton was re-cast for the series it inspired, The Waltons. A major star of the 1950s and 1960s, she was the recipient of an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a Tony Award, and two British Academy Film Awards, and was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Awards.
Early life and education
Neal was born in Packard, Whitley County, Kentucky, to William Burdette Neal and Eura Mildred (née Petrey) Neal. She had two siblings.{{cite web|title=Knoxville friends mourn loss of iconic actress Patricia Neal|author=Aston-Wash, Barbara|author2=Pickle, Betsy|date=August 8, 2010|access-date=August 8, 2010|publisher=Knoxnews.com|url=http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/aug/08/knoxville-friends-mourn-loss-iconic-actress-patric|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100816112819/http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/aug/08/knoxville-friends-mourn-loss-iconic-actress-patric/|archive-date=August 16, 2010}}{{cite web|last=Pylant|first=James|title=Patricia Neal's Deep Roots in the Bluegrass State|publisher=GenealogyMagazine.com|year=2010|url=http://www.genealogymagazine.com/patneal.html|access-date=September 1, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100913122649/http://www.genealogymagazine.com/patneal.html|archive-date=September 13, 2010|url-status=dead}}
Neal grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, where she attended Knoxville High School,John Shearer, [http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/may/28/052810knoxhighbox2/ Famous alumni from Knoxville High School], Knoxville News Sentinel, May 28, 2010. and studied drama at Northwestern, where she was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. At Northwestern, she was crowned Syllabus Queen in a campus-wide beauty pageant. She left Northwestern after talent scouts convinced her to leave for New York.{{cite web |url=https://www.northwestern.edu/magazine/winter2012/feature/reel-life.html |title=Reel Life |last=Canning Blackwell |first=Elizabeth |publisher=University Archives |date=March 10, 2013 |website=northwestern.edu |access-date=October 14, 2019}}
Career
Neal gained her first job in New York as an understudy in the Broadway production of the John Van Druten play The Voice of the Turtle. Next, she appeared in Lillian Hellman's Another Part of the Forest (1946), winning the 1947 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play, in the first presentation of the Tony awards.
Neal made her film debut with Ronald Reagan in John Loves Mary, followed by another role with Reagan in The Hasty Heart, and then The Fountainhead (all 1949). The shooting of the last film coincided with her affair with her married co-star, Gary Cooper, with whom she worked again in Bright Leaf (1950).

Neal starred with John Garfield in The Breaking Point (1950), in The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) with Michael Rennie, and in Operation Pacific (also 1951) starring John Wayne. She suffered a nervous breakdown around this time, following the end of her relationship with Cooper, and left Hollywood for New York, returning to Broadway in 1952 for a revival of The Children's Hour. In 1955, she starred in Edith Sommer's A Roomful of Roses, staged by Guthrie McClintic.

While in New York, Neal became a member of the Actors Studio. Based on connections with other members, she subsequently co-starred in the film A Face in the Crowd (1957, directed by Elia Kazan), the play The Miracle Worker (1959, directed by Arthur Penn), the film Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), and the film Hud (1963), directed by Martin Ritt and starring Paul Newman. During the same period, she appeared on television in an episode of The Play of the Week (1960), featuring an Actors Studio-dominated cast in a double bill of plays by August Strindberg,{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0675396/|title="Play of the Week" Strindberg on Love (TV Episode 1960)|date=February 25, 1960|work=IMDb}} and in a British production of Clifford Odets' Clash by Night (1959), which co-starred one of the first generation of Actors Studio members, Nehemiah Persoff.Tom Goldie: [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=gvxAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=36cMAAAAIBAJ&pg=6634,711207&dq=nehemiah+persoff+patricia-neal+clash-by-night&hl=en "Tom Goldie's Telenews: Steel on Your Screen,"] The Times (Tuesday, July 7, 1959), p. 8. "Producer John Jacobs had a hard time filling the role of the husband. He wanted Ernest Borgnine, or Karl Malden, or Anthony Quinn, but none of them was available. Then he saw Persoff playing a featured role in the film, Al Capone, and promptly invited him to come over from America specially for Clash by Night.
Neal won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Hud (1963),{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/09/AR2010080900833.html

}} co-starring with Paul Newman. When the film was initially released it was predicted she would be a nominee in the supporting actress category, but when she began collecting awards, they were always for Best Actress, from the New York Film Critics, the National Board of Review and a BAFTA award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
Neal was re-united with John Wayne in Otto Preminger's In Harm's Way (1965), winning her second BAFTA Award. Her next film was The Subject Was Roses (1968), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. She starred as the matriarch in the television film The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971), which inspired the television series The Waltons; she won a Golden Globe for her performance. In a 1999 interview with the Archive of American Television, Waltons creator Earl Hamner said he and producers were unsure if Neal's health would allow her to commit to the schedule of a weekly television series; so, instead, they cast Michael Learned in the role of Olivia Walton. Neal played a dying widowed mother trying to find a home for her three children in an episode of NBC's Little House on the Prairie broadcast in 1975.
Neal appeared in a series of television commercials in the 1970s and 1980s, notably for pain relief medicine Anacin and Maxim instant coffee.
Neal played the title role in Robert Altman's movie Cookie's Fortune (1999). She worked on Silvana Vienne's movie Beyond Baklava: The Fairy Tale Story of Sylvia's Baklava (2007), appearing as herself in the portions of the documentary talking about alternative ways to end violence in the world. In the same year as the film's release, Neal received one of two annually-presented Lifetime Achievement Awards at the SunDeis Film Festival in Waltham, Massachusetts. (Academy Award nominee Roy Scheider was the recipient of the other.)
Having won a Tony Award in their inaugural year (1947) and eventually becoming the last surviving winner from that first ceremony, Neal often appeared as a presenter in later years. Her original Tony was lost, so she was given a surprise replacement by Bill Irwin when they were about to present the 2006 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play to Cynthia Nixon. In April 2009, Neal received a lifetime achievement award from WorldFest Houston on the occasion of the debut of her film, Flying By. Neal was a long-term actress with Philip Langner's Theatre at Sea/Sail With the Stars productions with the Theatre Guild. In her final years she appeared in a number of health-care videos.{{cite web|url=http://www.danamarfilms.com/|title=Danamar Productions|access-date=October 9, 2010|archive-date=May 17, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140517044349/http://danamarfilms.com/|url-status=dead}}

Legacy
In 1978, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville dedicated the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center in her honor. The center provides intense treatment for stroke, spinal cord, and brain injury patients. It serves as part of Neal's advocacy for paralysis victims. She regularly visited the center in Knoxville, providing encouragement to its patients and staff. Neal appeared as the center's spokeswoman in advertisements until her death.{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g69zCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA65 |title=Beating the Odds: A Teen Guide to 75 Superstars Who Overcame Adversity |last=Snodgrass |first=Mary Ellen |publisher=ABC Clio |date=2008 |access-date=October 14, 2019|isbn=9780313345654 }}
