Academy Award-Winning Actress Patricia Neal Dies at 84
Acclaimed actress Patricia Neal died on Sunday from complications due to lung cancer at age 84. After winning an Oscar for her work opposite Paul Newman in Hud, she suffered a series of debilitating strokes that took away her capacity to speak and walk. Neal was able to recover, however, and was again nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 1968. She went on to start the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center in her hometown of Knoxville, Tenn.
