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 at her home in Edgartown, Mass., on Martha's Vineyard, said longtime friend Bud Albers of Knoxville.
Neal was already an award-winning Broadway actress when she won her Oscar for her role as a housekeeper to the Texas father (Melvyn Douglas) battling his selfish, amoral son (Paul Newman).

Neal was fantastic in “A Face in the Crowd”, with Andy Griffith and Walter Matthau.
RIP.

Dunno, but the married Neal was impregnated by a married Gary Cooper a supposedly devout Catholic. He was able to convince her to abort the child for the sake of their careers.

In 1953, she married Roald Dahl, the British writer famed for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," "James and the Giant Peach" and other tales for children. They had five children. They divorced in 1983 and he died in 1990.I was doing a little reading on Dahl a few weeks ago and saw this. I was surprised for some reason.

She had a unique American kind of beauty. There was strength in it and quality. Despite strokes and lung cancer she stayed with us for 84 years. RIP.

She regreted this abortion and along with actress Jennifer O’Neil have spoken openly about the emotional aftermath and regrets after having an abortion.
I think she was an amazing woman/actress.
