'''Almora''' ([[Hindi]]: अल्मोड़ा) is a [[cantonment]] town in the [[Almora district]] in the state of [[Uttarakhand]], [[India]]. Almora was founded in [[1568]].<ref>[http://www.kmvn.org/aboutkumaontouristsspots.aspx#almora Almora history]</ref>


==Biography==
It is a town bustling with activity and a rich cultural heritage and history. It is considered the cultural heart of the [[Kumaon]] region of Uttarakhand.
Neal was born '''Patsy Louise Neal''', in [[Whitley County, Kentucky|Packard, Whitley County]], [[Kentucky]]. She grew up in [[Knoxville, Tennessee]], and later went on to study drama at [[Northwestern University]]. After moving to New York, she accepted her first job as understudy in the [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] production of ''[[The Voice of the Turtle (play)|The Voice of the Turtle]]''. Soon, though, she appeared in ''[[Another Part of the Forest]]'' (1946), winning a [[Tony Award]] as Best Featured Actress in a Play. She also appeared in a 1952 revival of ''[[The Children's Hour (play)|The Children's Hour]]'' and ''[[The Miracle Worker (play)|The Miracle Worker]]'' (1959).
[[Image:Patricia Neal in The Fountainhead trailer.JPG|thumb|In ''The Fountainhead'' (1949).]]
In 1948, Neal made her film debut in ''[[John Loves Mary]]''. Her appearance the same year in ''[[The Fountainhead (film)|The Fountainhead]]'' coincided with her on-going affair with her married co-star, [[Gary Cooper]], whom she had met the year before, when he was 46 and she was 21. By 1950, Cooper's wife, Veronica, had found out about the relationship and sent Neal a [[telegram]] demanding they end it. Neal became pregnant by Cooper, but he persuaded her to have an [[abortion]],<ref>[http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117931024?categoryid=1010&cs=1 ''Patricia Neal: An Unquiet Life'']</ref> which made her feel guilty for many years. The affair ended, but not before Cooper's daughter, Maria (now Maria Cooper Janis, born 1937), spat at her in public. Years after Cooper's death, Maria and her mother Veronica reconciled with Patricia Neal.
[[Image:Patricia Neal by Van Vechten.jpg|thumb|left|Patricia Neal in 1954, photo by [[Carl Van Vechten]]]]
Neal met British writer [[Roald Dahl]] at a dinner party hosted by [[Lillian Hellman]] in 1951. They married on [[July 2]], [[1953]], at [[Trinity Church]] in [[New York]]. The marriage produced five children: Olivia Twenty ([[April 20]] [[1955]] – [[November 17]] [[1962]]), who died of measles encephalitis; Chantal [[Tessa Dahl|Tessa Sophia]]; Theo Matthew (b. 1960); [[Ophelia Dahl|Ophelia Magdalena]]; and Lucy Neal (b. 1965).


By 1952, Neal had starred in ''[[The Breaking Point (1950 film)|The Breaking Point]]'', ''[[The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film)|The Day the Earth Stood Still]]'' and ''[[Operation Pacific]]'' (the last with [[John Wayne]]). She suffered a [[nervous breakdown]] around that time, following the end of her relationship with Cooper, and left Hollywood for New York, where she returned to Broadway in a revival of ''[[The Children's Hour]]'', in 1952. (She also acted in ''[[A Roomful of Roses]]'' in 1955, and as the mother in ''[[The Miracle Worker]] in 1959.)''
==Geography==
Almora is located at {{coord|29.62|N|79.67|E|}}.<ref>[http://www.fallingrain.com/world/IN/39/Almora.html Falling Rain Genomics, Inc - Almora]</ref> It has an average elevation of 1,651&nbsp;[[metre]]s (5,417&nbsp;[[foot (unit of length)|feet]]). It is located on a ridge at the southern edge of the Kumaon Hills of the Himalaya range. In the shape of a horse saddle shaped hillock, it is surrounded by thick forests of pine and fir trees, flowing alongside the city are rivers of [[Kosi River|Koshi]](Kaushiki) and Suyal(salmale). The snow capped Himalayas can be seen in the background.


In films, she starred in ''[[A Face in the Crowd]]'' (1957) and co-starred in ''[[Breakfast at Tiffany's]]'' (1961). In 1961 and 1962 she suffered the death of one child and a grievous injury to another. Her daughter Olivia died from measles and her son Theo's carriage was hit by a taxi when he was just four months old.
==Demographics==
According to the [[2001]] India [[census]],<ref>{{GR|India}}</ref> Almora had a population of 30,613. Males number 16,443 and constitute roughly 53.7% of the population and females number 14,170 or roughly 46.3%. Almora has an average literacy rate of 84.09%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; with 86.39% of the males and 81.43% of females literate. Nearly 10% of the population is under 6 years of age.


In 1963, Neal won the [[Academy Award for Best Actress]] for her performance in ''[[Hud (film)|Hud]]'', co-starring Paul Newman. When the film was initially released it was predicted she would be a nominee in the supporting actress category but she began collecting awards and they were always for Best Leading Actress. She not only received the Academy Award but also picked up awards from the New York Film Critics and the National Board of Review. She also received a BAFTA award from the British Academy. Two years later, she was reunited with John Wayne in Otto Preminger's ''[[In Harm's Way]]'' winning her second BAFTA Award.
==Quotes==
''"These mountains are associated with the best memories of our race: Here, therefore, must be one of centers, not merely of activity, but more of calmness of meditation, and of peace and I hope some one to realize it."''
- [[Swami Vivekananda]]
(replying to the address given to him by the people of Almora.)
[[Image:Almora, 1860s.jpg|thumb|Almora, 1860s]]
''"In these hills, nature's hospitality eclipses all men can ever do. The enchanting beauties of the Himalayas, their bracing climate and the soothing green that envelopes you leaves nothing more to be desired. I wonder whether the scenery of these hills and the climate are to be surpassed, if equalled, by any of the beauty spots of the world. After having been nearly three weeks in Almora Hills, I am more than ever amazed why our people need go in Europe in search of health."''
- [[Mahatma Gandhi]]


A heavy smoker, later in 1965, Neal suffered three burst [[cerebral aneurysm]]s while pregnant, and was in a coma for three weeks. Dahl directed her rehabilitation and she subsequently relearned to walk and talk ("I think I'm just stubborn, that's all"). On [[August 4]] [[1965]], she gave birth to a healthy daughter, Lucy.
==Famous Personalities==
American Actress [[Uma Thurman]] spent large parts of her childhood in Almora.


Neal was offered the role of "Mrs. Robinson" in ''[[The Graduate]]'' (1967), but turned it down, feeling it had come too soon after her strokes. She returned to the big screen in ''[[The Subject Was Roses]]'' (1968), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award.
== Temples ==
Almora has many famous temples. Kasar Devi, Banari Devi, Chitai, Jageshwar, [[Rudreshwar Mahadev Temple]](near Sanara Ganiya), Binsar Mahadev, Garhnath and Baijnath are some of the few notable places.


She later starred as Olivia Walton in the [[television]] movie ''[[The Homecoming: A Christmas Story]]'' (1971), which was the pilot episode for ''[[The Waltons]]''. Although she won a [[Golden Globe]] for her performance, she was not invited to reprise the role in the television series; the part went to [[Michael Learned]]. Neal played a dying widowed mother trying to find a home for her three children in a moving 1975 episode of NBC's ''[[Little House on the Prairie]]''.
[[Rudreshwar Mahadev Temple]] is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is situated on the bank of the river Ram Ganga. A sun temple (only the second in the world) is located at Katarmal within a short distance from the town.


In 1978, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville dedicated the '''Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center''' in her honor. The center serves as part of Neal's paralysis victim advocacy. She has appeared in center advertisements throughout 2006.

==District Administration==
In 1981, [[Glenda Jackson]] played her in a television movie, ''The Patricia Neal Story'' which co-starred [[Dirk Bogarde]] as Roald Dahl. Neal and Dahl's stormy 30-year marriage finally ended in divorce in November 1983 after Dahl's affair with Neal's then-best friend, Felicity Crosland. In 1988 Neal published an [[autobiography]], ''As I Am''.
Presently District administration is headed by District Magistrate who is also the head of the Civil Service in the entire district. However, the District Magistrate is subservient to the District Judge. The District Magistrate is empowered to decide on issues relating to public law and order and general administration. Under the District Magistrate are Additional District Magistrate and Sub-divisional Magistrates. The number of sub-divisional magistrates vary from district to district. Presently there are nine sub-divisions in Almora district.

[[Image: Patricia-Neal.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Patricia Neal at the 2006 Theatre World Awards ceremony. Photo by Robert Armin.]]In 2007, Neal received one of two annually-presented Lifetime Achievement Awards at the [[SunDeis Film Festival]] in Waltham, Massachusetts. (Academy Award nominee [[Roy Scheider]] was the recipient of the other.)

She lives in [[New York City]], and owns a house on [[Martha's Vineyard]]. She is a frequent speaker at [[pro-life]] meetings and rallies, discussing her conviction that her own abortion was a mistake which had brought her great emotional pain.

She often appears on the Tony Awards telecast. This may be because she is the only surviving winner from the first ceremony. Her original Tony was lost so she was given a replacement by [[Bill Irwin]] when they presented the Best Actress Award to [[Cynthia Nixon]] in 2006.

SpouseRoald Dahl (1953–1983)

Patricia Neal (born January 20 1926) is an American award-winning actress of stage and screen.

Biography

Neal was born Patsy Louise Neal, in Packard, Whitley County, Kentucky. She grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee, and later went on to study drama at Northwestern University. After moving to New York, she accepted her first job as understudy in the Broadway production of The Voice of the Turtle. Soon, though, she appeared in Another Part of the Forest (1946), winning a Tony Award as Best Featured Actress in a Play. She also appeared in a 1952 revival of The Children's Hour and The Miracle Worker (1959).

In The Fountainhead (1949).

In 1948, Neal made her film debut in John Loves Mary. Her appearance the same year in The Fountainhead coincided with her on-going affair with her married co-star, Gary Cooper, whom she had met the year before, when he was 46 and she was 21. By 1950, Cooper's wife, Veronica, had found out about the relationship and sent Neal a telegram demanding they end it. Neal became pregnant by Cooper, but he persuaded her to have an abortion,[1] which made her feel guilty for many years. The affair ended, but not before Cooper's daughter, Maria (now Maria Cooper Janis, born 1937), spat at her in public. Years after Cooper's death, Maria and her mother Veronica reconciled with Patricia Neal.

Neal met British writer Roald Dahl at a dinner party hosted by Lillian Hellman in 1951. They married on July 2, 1953, at Trinity Church in New York. The marriage produced five children: Olivia Twenty (April 20 1955 – November 17 1962), who died of measles encephalitis; Chantal Tessa Sophia; Theo Matthew (b. 1960); Ophelia Magdalena; and Lucy Neal (b. 1965).

By 1952, Neal had starred in The Breaking Point, The Day the Earth Stood Still and Operation Pacific (the last with John Wayne). She suffered a nervous breakdown around that time, following the end of her relationship with Cooper, and left Hollywood for New York, where she returned to Broadway in a revival of The Children's Hour, in 1952. (She also acted in A Roomful of Roses in 1955, and as the mother in The Miracle Worker in 1959.)

In films, she starred in A Face in the Crowd (1957) and co-starred in Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961). In 1961 and 1962 she suffered the death of one child and a grievous injury to another. Her daughter Olivia died from measles and her son Theo's carriage was hit by a taxi when he was just four months old.

In 1963, Neal won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Hud, co-starring Paul Newman. When the film was initially released it was predicted she would be a nominee in the supporting actress category but she began collecting awards and they were always for Best Leading Actress. She not only received the Academy Award but also picked up awards from the New York Film Critics and the National Board of Review. She also received a BAFTA award from the British Academy. Two years later, she was reunited with John Wayne in Otto Preminger's In Harm's Way winning her second BAFTA Award.

A heavy smoker, later in 1965, Neal suffered three burst cerebral aneurysms while pregnant, and was in a coma for three weeks. Dahl directed her rehabilitation and she subsequently relearned to walk and talk ("I think I'm just stubborn, that's all"). On August 4 1965, she gave birth to a healthy daughter, Lucy.

Neal was offered the role of "Mrs. Robinson" in The Graduate (1967), but turned it down, feeling it had come too soon after her strokes. She returned to the big screen in The Subject Was Roses (1968), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award.

She later starred as Olivia Walton in the television movie The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971), which was the pilot episode for The Waltons. Although she won a Golden Globe for her performance, she was not invited to reprise the role in the television series; the part went to Michael Learned. Neal played a dying widowed mother trying to find a home for her three children in a moving 1975 episode of NBC's Little House on the Prairie.

In 1978, Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center in Knoxville dedicated the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center in her honor. The center serves as part of Neal's paralysis victim advocacy. She has appeared in center advertisements throughout 2006.

In 1981, Glenda Jackson played her in a television movie, The Patricia Neal Story which co-starred Dirk Bogarde as Roald Dahl. Neal and Dahl's stormy 30-year marriage finally ended in divorce in November 1983 after Dahl's affair with Neal's then-best friend, Felicity Crosland. In 1988 Neal published an autobiography, As I Am.
