Patricia Neal was never what I would consider to be any classic babe, but I admired the hell out of her, just based on three performances. It was she who halted the menacing alien robot Gort with the famous phrase "Klaatu borada nikto" in "The Day the Earth Stood Still." (Sadly, she considered the whole thing rather silly.) It was she who first created and then was obliged to destroy homespun pundit Lonesome Rhodes in "A Face in the Crowd," which remains as biting a comment on politicized media as ever. And it was she who strove to match Ayn Rand's insane standard of heroism in "The Fountainhead." It had long been rumored that Ayn Rand's work was unfilmable, and "Fountainhead" proved that, yet Neal somehow survived the experiment. She was unusual and brave, desiring Gary Cooper yet somehow winding up married to Roald Dahl. I wish there were more like her.

"A Face in the Crowd" could be the title of her life story. She was entirely ordinary in her appearance; no one would ever have a pin-up of her. But damn, she could act the skirt off of any starlet!

I agree. And at a personal level, to have recovered from that series of strokes in 1965 (45 years ago!) is a high level of persistence and courage.

While I am a Sci-Fi fan, I'll always think of her in "In Harms Way" instead of "The Day The Earth Stood Still".

Me too. She did an excellent job in that Otto Preminger film as The Duke's love interest. :)

She had a great voice.

wait... what? Klaatu Borada Nikto is army of Darkness? :P
-
she looked incredible in the negligee in the hotel room scene in "Face in the Crowd". In a BEA sort of way even.
-
I can't say I remember her in the negligee but that's one of the best damn movies ever made.
