From Keeping Up With Hollywood by Louella Parsons:
Everyone who knew how miserable Patricia Neal was before she left Hollywood at the end of her romance with Gary Cooper is glad she has found a new love in her life.
I hear that she and her fiancé, Roald Dahl (writer on a national magazine) have not yet set their wedding date. But they have bought a Jaguar to tour Europe in when they go there next month on a honeymoon.

From Keeping Up With Hollywood by Louella Parsons:
Patricia Neal, who joined her husband author Roald Dahl at their English country estate after she finished her engagement in “The Miracle Worker,” is coming back to this country to report for the cast of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.”
I asked producer Dick Shepherd what role Pat will play. He said that playwright George Axelrod has written an entirely new character in the story—a society woman who answers to the name of Emily Eustas Talmenson. Pat who gets here early next month, told Dick and his partner Martin Jurow that she’ll be in New York when roll is called Oct. 2 Audrey Hepburn plays Holly Golightly.

Patricia Neal Foresees Return To Work In Year
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actress Patricia Neal, looking amazingly well after three massive strokes, said Monday: “I’ll be back to work in a year.”
The 29-year-old [sic – this should be 39!] Academy Award winner left Los Angeles to continue her recovery at her home near London after walking unaided, and talking composedly, at a news conference.
The willowy blonde wore a patch over her left eye and a brace on her right leg. Her shoes were the heavy kind that strengthen weak limbs. She was thin and a bit drawn.
But she was cheerful and smiling and quick to answer questions, showing irritation only when a slight speech impediment caused her to grope for a word or say the wrong one.
Miss Neal, in critical condition for a time after suffering the strokes Feb. 17, was out to demonstrate she has made a remarkable recovery — and did.
Asked when she would return to work, she said:
“The baby first! Then, one year, I’m sure.”
She expects a child in late July or early August.
This morning she walked unaided to a car, chatting amiable with a friend, actor Cary Grant, and her husband, British writer Roald Dahl.
At International Airport, in her first public appearance since her illness, she again walked unaided across the lobby, limping slightly due to the leg brace.
She told the news conference she recalls little of her ordeal.
