Her life was portrayed in a made for television film starring Glenda Jackson and Dirk Bogarde, The Patricia Neal Story, which covered perhaps the most difficult decade of her life; she had suffered several strokes but miraculously recovered with the support of her family, and went on to do the film and stage versions of The Subject Was Roses.
Ms. Neal was kind enough to write this note to me in 2006.
I remember feeling genuine sorry for her character in HUD when Paul Newman really does turn out to be a heel. That movie tricks ya into thinking maybe everything will be alright a couple times, and then pulls the rug right out from under ya when Newman reverts back into his awesome "bastard" mode.
