Patricia Neal, One of the Great Hollywood Ladies died, she liked MJs music...

Patricia Neal, Oscar winner in 1963 for “Hud,” died on Sunday at age 84.

I can tell you that knowing her over the years, talking to her at dinners and premieres, she was quite remarkable.

She loved the movie, “The Fantastic Mr. Fox,” based on the work of her late (and divorced late in life after 30 years of marriage) husband, Roald Dahl. She came to the premiere and enjoyed all of it.

For Michael Jackson’s 30 th anniversary concert on September 7, 2001, a cab dropped her and granddaughter Sophie Dahl on the wrong side of Madison Square Garden. I helped walk her around to the Eighth Avenue side, and we discussed how much she liked Michael’s music.

This was despite a debilitating stroke from which she’d battled back in 1965– several strokes, in fact. She’d been pregnant at the time.

She had a terrific, long acting career. Trivia: she played Olivia Walton, the mother, in the pilot movie for “The Waltons.” A wonderful person, and a New Yorker whom we will miss tremendously. Rest in peace.

I know she was a movie actress and did many films for the big screen but I will always remember and love her as the original mother in the Walton's movie. How sweet she was an MJ fan.

RIP... the last of golden hollywood

yeah..i remember about her being a fan of MJ.

and...it seems Roger friedman is too...he seems everywhere concerning MJ..obviously went to that concert, too...

She had a steamy love affair with the great GARY COOPER. Read she unfortunately had a nervous break down when he went back to his wife.

Interesting that she was a fan of Michael's music. I read a little about her today. It's good she stayed strong through her series of strokes and her pregnancy. Rest in peace.
