Hillbillies don’t conk that easy
Knoxvillian Patricia Neal won a Tony at 19, took the 1963 Best Actress Oscar for “Hud,” and was nominated again in 1968 for “The Subject Was Roses.” After three massive strokes in 1965, newspapers reported her death. She stubbornly learned to walk and talk again with help from husband Roald Dahl, saying, “Tennessee hillbillies don't conk that easy.” The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center in Knoxville is a leader in treating stroke, spinal cord and brain injuries.
