This video is dedicated to Elizabeth Hartman. She starred in one of my favorite movies "Patch of Blue" with Sidney Poitier & Shelly Winters, she won a Golden Globe for her amazing performance as a blind woman in love with a man who for the first time in her life shows her kindness,compassion & love. This movie was made in the 60's when there was a lot of racial tension & predjudice so I'm sure this movie must have been pretty controversial at the time but I love how Elizabeth plays the role of Selina with such conviction & vulnerability. I think it's so touching that she falls in love with Gordon because she can see more without her sight than many people can with perfect eyesight. It's a great movie & I highly recommend it!! Here is a mini biography of her life: Born: Dec.23,1943 Died: June 10,1987 Elizabeth Hartman was born and raised in Youngstown, Ohio. She was the middle of three children. She soon appeared in a play, "A Clearing in the Woods", in high school and, at that point, she knew she wanted to be an actress. After high school graduation, she was accepted at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and spent a year there before leaving for New York where landed the role of "Selina D'Arcy" in A Patch of Blue (1965). She was nominated for an Academy Award and won the Golden Globe award. She went on to display amazing versatility in other films as well - as an upperclass collegiate in The Group (1966), a capricious, hurtful young flirt in You're a Big Boy Now ...
