Felicity brought Dahl not only for emotional support, but because Theo also had a fractured skull from a car accident.

Maybe Dahl can help her ask the right questions of the doctors.

While Dahl and Felicity are away, Ophelia calls him at the hotel to ask a question.

But it's Felicity who picks up the phone.

Ophelia is crushed to learn the affair is back on.

But years later, referring to her father and Felicity, Ophelia says, "...it was the biggest love story ever."

I felt hurt, but I don't know another couple who were ever so much in love.

Apparently agreeing with this sentiment, Neal eventually decides on a divorce.

She can handle it now.

She's getting her strength back.

And her career has had a major comeback, starting with her big return to acting in a lead role in The Subject Was Roses, the film adaptation of a Pulitzer Prize-winning play.

Here's Neal speaking to Terry Gross about what that job did for her.

The film won raves, and Neal was nominated for Best Actress again.

Her career is revived, and she continues acting for many more years.

Now, even though Dahl is clearly the one who brought the divorce about, he goes into a funk when it actually happens.

He becomes super depressed.

Here's what he writes in his journal.

Sheesh, if that doesn't sound like a late midlife crisis, I don't know what does.

The man who spent his 20s living like James Bond, literally, now confronts the dissolution of his marriage and growing old.

His hip replacement seems to add insult to injury.
