Elizabeth Harman rides a bike.

March 2, 2023

Elizabeth Hartman takes a ride on her Schwinn 3-speed. It’s 1965, and the 21-year-old Ohioan has just wrapped filming on MGM’s A Patch of Blue. Hartman, who received an Academy Award best actress nomination for this, her screen debut, plays a young blind woman opposite Sidney Poitier an an erudite and sympathetic friend she meets — and continues to meet — in L.A.’s MacArthur Park. Shelley Winters won the supporting actress Oscar for her portrayal of Hartman’s hardbitten prostitute mom. Hartman went on to star in Francis Coppola’s You’re a Big Boy Now and Don Siegel’s The Beguiled.
