Natalie '63: 'Love With the Proper Stranger'

The Oscar nominees were Shirley McClaine (Irma La Duce), Leslie Caron (The L-Shaped Room), Rachel Roberts (This Sporting Life), Natalie and Patricia Neal for a truly supporting twenty-five minute performance for 'Hud'. The supporting role won. What were they thinking? Well they were thinking Natalie is always good and as usual they could take her for granted. This was Natalie's year in an important film that showed the need for a woman's right to choose. It also was a quirky love story where Nat and Steve McQueen shined. It was probably his finest role also.
Unfortunately, it would also be her final chance for the prize. She was out and out cheated. The Oscars had gotten it wrong before and certainly would again. But in 1963 they were truly wrong...wrong, wrong, wrong!!!
