Knoxville, Aug 9 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Actress Patricia Neal has died. She was 84 years old. She died on Sunday surrounded by her friends and family members. She died from lung cancer at her abode in Martha’s Vineyard.
Neal won an Academy award for her brilliant performance in the movie Hud in 1963. Even though she was not keeping good health for a while, as she used to continue from strokes, yet she honored all her acting commitments. After her Oscar winner, she suffered numerous strokes even though she was barely in her late thirties at that time.
Her stroke also crippled her for a bit, but the feisty Neal struggled hard at it and finally learnt to walk again too. After her epic battle with the effects of her stroke, she again scored an Academy award nomination and three Emmy nominations as well. She also has a rehabilitation center named after her in Knoxville.
Her death was confirmed by her family who also released a statement. “She faced her final illness as she had all of the many trials she endured: with indomitable grace, good humor and a great deal of her self-described stubbornness,” her family said in a statement.
