Ah - Patricia Neal starts us off.

Here's her obituary. She left us in 2010 it appears, after a long career, but somehow I assume her role in "Stranger from Venus" wasn't featured in the obit text

Oscar-winning actress found triumphs in a life of tragedies.

I met her very briefly a number of years before she died and she was wonderful and lovely. I told her how incredible I thought her performances in Face In The Crowd and Day The Earth Stood Still were and how delighted I was to meet her

She said something like “that’s so nice of you to say.. which was your favorite.” I admitted Day was my favorite

I mentioned a friend was a teen at the time and she and friends thought Michael Renny was hot

She got a lot of delight out of that

@kbsez Wow - what a special experience. Memorable indeed.
