Patrica Neal is still alive and the mother of about 5 children.

Nils Asther, never heard of him, but just checked him out on IMDb, and he was very pretty. And he looks quite petite. The large close-up of his face looks like one of the Jackson sisters.

Nils was married and had a child (IMDB), but he was very slight looking. I can see where someone might think that it could be him. This whole blind tidbit is fascinating!

But if it was him, the more interesting question, who was he as a woman?

Okay, the actor died 1980-1985. The actress would have no record of her death. She just disappeared.
Both had visible scar. And both developed a noticeable skin condition.
Find the man "Timmy", what well known stage actor with a skin condition died of AIDS related illness (kaposi sarcoma, pneumonia, "cancer") in the early 80's. Then look at his resume. What years are "missing" from *his* bio and that would coincide with *her* bio.
Just my 2 cents.

I think the "big award" must be the Oscar. Here are the 1935-49 (that sounds like the timeframe) Oscar winners for Best actress and Best Supporting actress:

Bette Davis - Dangerous - NO
Luise Rainer - The Great Ziegfeld - NO
Gale Sondergaard - Anthony Adverse - NO
Luise Rainer - The Good Earth - NO
Alice Brady - In Old Chicago - NO
Bette Davis - Jezebel - NO
Fay Bainter - Jezebel - NO
Vivien Leigh - Gone With the Wind - NO
Hattie McDaniel - Gone With the Wind - NO
Ginger Rogers - Kitty Foyle - NO
Jane Darwell - The Grapes of Wrath - NO
Joan Fontaine - Suspicion - NO
Mary Astor - The Great Lie - NO
Greer Garson - Mrs. Miniver - NO
Teresa Wright - Mrs. Miniver - NO
Jennifer Jones - The Song of Bernadette - NO
Katina Paxinou - For Whom the Bell Tolls - NO
Ingrid Bergman - Gaslight - NO
Ethel Barrymore - None But the Lonely - NO
Joan Crawford - Mildred Pierce - NO
Anne Revere - National Velvet - NO
Olivia de Havilland - To Each His Own - NO
Anne Baxter - The Razor's Edge - NO
Loretta Young - The Farmer's Daughter - NO
Celeste Holm - Gentleman's Agreement - NO
Jane Wyman - Johnny Belinda - NO
Claire Trevor - Key Largo - NO
Olivia de Havilland - The Heiress - NO
Mercedes McCambridge In All The King's Men - NO

I put NO next to the ones who couldn't be it - too prevalent, well known, acted into the 90s, had children - and eliminated them all! So here are the ones 1950-59:

Judy Holliday - Born Yesterday - NO
Josephine Hull - Harvey - NO
Vivien Leigh - A Streetcar Named Desire - NO
Kim Hunter - A Streetcar Named Desire - NO
Shirley Booth - Come Back, Little Sheba - NO
Gloria Grahame - The Bad and the Beautiful - NO
Audrey Hepburn - Roman Holiday - NO
Donna Reed - From Here to Eternity - NO
Grace Kelly - The Country Girl - NO
Eva Marie Saint - On the Waterfront - NO
Anna Magnani - The Rose Tattoo - NO
Jo Van Fleet - East of Eden - NO
Ingrid Bergman - Anastasia - NO
Dorothy Malone - Written on the Wind - NO
Joanne Woodward - The Three Faces of Eve - NO
Miyoski Umeki - Sayonara - NO
Susan Hayward - I Want To Live! - NO
Wendy Hiller - Separate Tables - NO
Simone Signoret - Room at the Top - NO
Shelley Winters - The Diary of Anne Frank - NO

OK they're all NOs too! I'll leave the post in case anyone is better at filtering than I am! I really thought I'd find something!

Just read the Oscars weren't televised until 1953 (the item mentioned the television viewers) so that gives a better time frame for the female award. Here are the 60s:

Elizabeth Taylor in Butterfield 8 - NO
Shirley Jones in Elmer Gantry - NO
Sophia Loren in Two Women - NO
Rita Moreno in West Side Story - NO
Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker - NO
Patty Duke in The Miracle Worker - NO
Patricia Neal in Hud - NO
Margaret Rutherford in The V.I.P.'s - NO
Julie Andrews in Mary Poppins - NO
Lila Kedrova in Zorba The Greek - NO
Julie Christie in Darling - NO
Shelley Winters in A Patch Of Blue - NO
Elizabeth Taylor In Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - NO
Sandy Dennis in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? - NO
Katharine Hepburn in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - NO
Estelle Parsons in Bonnie And Clyde - NO
Katharine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter - NO
Barbra Streisand for Funny Girl - NO
Ruth Gordon in Rosemary's Baby - NO
Maggie Smith in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie - NO
Goldie Hawn in Cactus Flower - NO

More NOs. I give up!

Didn't the article state the award was for a less well known movie?
What about a Golden Globe? Was that around that long?

I'm sure the writer of the article enjoys watching people spinning their wheels.

Robert Drivas has been thrown out there as a potential for "Timmy." He was born in either 1936 or 1938, began a known stage career and minor-to-mid level film career roundabouts 1958. Doesn't leave alot of time for the early stuff, but then again it's not necessarily the case that his DOB is correct (more often than not DOBs are incorrect in Hollywood bios, IMO). He died of AIDS-related causes in 1986. He was very teh prett-ay, but I've only seen one or two photos of him and can't tell if there are any identifying scars.

I reread the additional clues. It said the events happened in a 50 year time frame, and that it was prior to 1980-1985 when Timmy died. Robert Divras would have been too young. IMO.

i'm interested in finding out who "ll" is. the obvious answer is Lyles/Paramount...however that can't be "ll" imo. he is all about giving interviews and stories.

twiggy, "really"? no, i have no clue...just a guess.

i do believe this is an urban legend. still it is "fun" to figure it out. finding out who LL is...could be a start. still think the legend has to be emmy award since it would be harder to prove.

eta: again, i have no clue...all a guess.
