I especially enjoyed the Patricia Neal quote and had not heard it before.
Hi Russ,
The funny thing is the quote is 30+ years old and reminded me of Secretariat. I had no idea who Patricia Neal was at the time. Of course, now I can look her up and see she was a relatively famous actress (back in her day). My only recollection of her was as the “mum” in “The Day the Earth Stood Still“. Now I’m going to have to go off and watch my copy of the DVD. LOL!!
