American actress who was a Broadway success from her stage debut in 1945. Throughout the 1950's she had many poor roles, but she received the Oscar for "Hud," in 1963. In 1968 she won her second Oscar for "The Subject Was Roses." Raised in the coalfields of Packard, Kentucky, the headstrong girl wrote to Santa at ten that she wanted to be an actress. Her mom and dad, a coal company manager, supported her talent for doing monologues but urged her to go to college.

Note her partile Mercury 180 Pluto on her East Point-- West Point axis, clearly her natal signature. Again and again we are seeing partile Mercury-Pluto aspects for people who influence the public by being actors/actress. Ebertin writes about Mercury-Pluto people:

Probable Manifestation: Successes as a speaker (mostly in specialized fields), the attainment of public recognition.

She tells in her autobiography, published in 1988, of her affair with her leading man, the married Gary Cooper and discloses the fact that she aborted his child in 1950. She wept and wept over that loss. The affair continued for another two years and when she finally called a halt, she suffered a nervous breakdown.

Note her Venus/Neptune=Saturn T-Square, Moon partile 120 Neptune, another very potent natal signature. Ebertin writes about this combo midpoint:

A morbid or pathological disposition with regard to the expression of love, inhibitions in love. Tormenting oneself because of love, frigidity and a lack of affection, the stage of coming down to earth and of becoming sober again, illness cause through love (note her nervous breakdown). Seperation caused by wrong love sensations.

If anyone can watch her role in the Movie ‘Hud’—you will see she played a role which was very similar to the above T-Square. Be sure to read the following bio where you can see/understand more details how the above T-Square wrecked complete havo in her real life. Absolute amazing planetary symbolism in her life with this T-Square.

Neal's four month old son was hit by a taxi and suffered brain damage. Her 7-8 year old daughter died of encephalitis that was a complication with measles. She suffered several strokes and was in a coma for around a month while pregnant with her youngest child, (and her husband authorized her tubes be tied during the delivery without her knowledge.)

I've always thought of strokes as Saturn-Mars - capping the teakettle. I don't have more Solar Fire handy, but there seems to be a pattern of brain damage and children here that would fit with the symbolism of Venus/Neptune=Saturn and Moon trine Neptune. But I'm looking at that partile square between Saturn and Neptune and wondering.
