Patricia Neal
When Academy Award winning actress Patricia Neal suffered three strokes while only 39, she learned quickly the importance of having proper rehabilitative care. Unable to see clearly and paralyzed on her right side, Ms. Neal faced intense rehabilitative treatment.
The Knoxville native endured not one or two but three strokes. Through hard work and her relentless desire to regain full function, Ms. Neal is a testament to the power of rehabilitation. By leading an active lifestyle, Ms. Neal is today in her seventies, an advocate for those who have suffered paralysis.
That's why the famed actress helped to dedicate a rehabilitation facility in her hometown - Knoxville, Tennessee.

Paul Newman
Born: 26 January 1925
Birthplace: Cleveland, Ohio
Best Known As: Star of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
One of the biggest movie stars of the 20th century, Paul Newman went Oscar-less until 1985, when he was given an honorary Academy Award for his distinguished body of work; the next year he won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in Martin Scorsese's The Color of Money (1988, co-starring Tom Cruise). He has been nominated for Best Actor seven other times, for films including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958, opposite Elizabeth Taylor), The Hustler (1961, co-starring George C. Scott), and Cool Hand Luke (1967). Newman's good looks and extra-blue eyes are famous; he has often played sharp-witted, charming and rascally leading men. With his co-star Robert Redford he was in two of the biggest box office successes in history, 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Newman played Butch and Redford was Sundance) and 1973's The Sting. He has also directed several films, including Rachel, Rachel (1968), Sometimes A Great Notion (1971, based on the novel by Ken Kesey) and Harry and Son (1984).
Newman has been married to actress Joanne Woodward since 1958... His non-profit "Newman's Own" line of foods has raised millions of dollars for charity.
