KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Patricia Neal, the willowy, husky-voiced actress who won an Academy Award for 1963's "Hud" and then survived several strokes to continue acting, died on Sunday. She was 84.
Neal had lung cancer and died surrounded by her family at her home in Edgartown, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard.

RIP Patricia Neal
She was terrific in A Face In The Crowd with an especially good Andy Griffith.
The really good actors are dying and leaving us with the dreck and dregs. I enjoyed several of her films and am happy to consider myself one of her fans.
Thanks for the great films, Ms. Neal. God rest your soul and give her family and loved ones peace, knowing that she is safe and home.
Boy if THAT ain't the truth. And this lady suffered personal tragedies and overcame them. With grace.

Check out “Sometimes a Great Notion”. I think it was one of her best roles. That and HUD.
She starred with Gary Cooper in the movie based on the Ayn Rand novel, The Fountainhead.
I had forgotten that about her but you are absolutely correct!!
