Together with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, he received the Collier Trophy in 1969 and the Hubbard Medal of the National Geographic Society in 1970.

His strong leadership skills and determination were clearly evident in 1970 when allegations ( later disproved in court, though questions since have emerged challenging that verdict in one case ), that the hardline republican Minister for Agriculture, Neil Blaney, and the Minister for Finance, Charles Haughey, were involved in an attempt to use £ 100, 000 in aid money to import arms for the Provisional IRA.

She received her first Tony Award nomination in 1970, for her role in the Neil Simon play, Last of the Red Hot Lovers ( 1969 ).
