Patricia Neal: A story of love, healing, and forgiveness
Patricia Neal was one of the 20th century’s most gifted actresses of stage and screen. Her life, though, was a Greek tragedy, transformed by God’s healing love. She was born 100 years ago today — christened “Patsy Louise” — in Packard, Kentucky, the coal country hometown of her “earnest, warm-hearted” mother, Eura Mildred Petrey, whose husband and life-long-love, larger-than-life William Burdette “Coot” Neal, was raised on a tobacco plantation in Southern Virginia.

The One Historical Sin That’s Always Forgiven
There’s a Frida Kahlo exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, and as such things often do, “Frida Kahlo: Making Her Self Up” (through November 4) tells us something about the culture we inhabit that the curators hadn’t intended. Kahlo (1907-1954) was of course the arch-bohemian Mexican painter and sometime wife of muralist Diego Rivera who came back into fashion some decades after her death and has remained there since.
Norman Mailer vs. Big Media
Back in the days when famous writers were rock stars, nobody rocked harder than Norman Mailer. From the 1960s on, he was a familiar figure on TV talk shows, from high-brow (William F. Buckley) to middle-brow (Dick Cavett) to low-middle-brow (Merv Griffin). He could be a charming raconteur or a petulant crank depending on his mood and who was in the room. “Norman Mailer is one of the leading spectator sports in America,” said Merv, introducing the author on a 1968 show that included a ventriloquist.

Dancer, Singer, Activist, Spy: The Legacy of Josephine Baker
If you happened to find yourself gallivanting around Aquitaine in the south of France in the late 1940s, there is every possibility you might have stumbled across the Château des Milandes. A Renaissance manor, all turrets and gargoyles, it was architecturally and historically of note – not to mention its more modern additions: a swimming pool shaped like the letter J, an experimental farm, and waxwork figures depicting strange scenes from the 1920s.
