The oscar winning actress from Farmers favourite movie died over the weekend.
Actress Patricia Neal dies aged 84
Actress Patricia Neal, who won an Oscar in 1964 for Hud and later fought back from crippling strokes, has died at the age of 84.
Neal had lung cancer and died at her home in Edgarton, Massachusetts, on Martha’s Vineyard, said long-time friend Bud Albers of Knoxville, Tennessee.
Kentucky-born Neal, famous for her husky voice, was already a Tony-winning stage actress when she made her film debut in 1949. Among her movies were The Fountainhead and A Face In The Crowd.
The year after winning the Academy Award, she suffered a series of strokes and had to relearn to walk and talk. But she returned to the screen and earned another Oscar nomination and three Emmy nominations.
Her struggle to regain walking and talking is regarded as epic in the annals of stroke rehabilitation. She returned to the screen to earn another Oscar nomination and three Emmy nominations.
The Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Centre in Knoxville, where she grew up, which concentrates on helping people recover from strokes and spinal cord and brain injuries, is named after her.
She had the female leads in the 1949 film version of Ayn Rand’s novel The Fountainhead, the classic 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still and Elia Kazan’s 1957 drama A Face in the Crowd.
She made a grand return to the screen after her strokes in 1968, winning an Oscar nomination for her performance in The Subject Was Roses.
In 1971, she played Olivia Walton in The Homecoming: A Christmas Story, a made-for-TV film that served as the pilot for the CBS series The Waltons. It brought her the first of her three Emmy nominations.
In 1953, she married writer Roald Dahl. They had five children, one of whom died from measles at the age of seven. Neal and Dahl divorced in 1983 after she learned he was having an affair with her best friend and he died in 1990.
I hope it’s not too late to enter. Here’s my 5 just in case entries are still allowed.
- Ray Meagher (Alf Stewart)
- Gerry Marsden (Scouse 60s singer)
- Ian Brady (60s child killer)
- Michael Moore (US film maker)
- David Letterman (US chat show host)
This competition is disgusting but if i were to enter it i’m sure i’d win it as i have a celeb name or two rolling around in my head and it is only a matter of time before the bite the bullet.
But as this competition repules me i’ll decline the opportunity to do so.
Does anyone have Trap?
admins ban this sick fucker immediately
Mac will be both gutted and delighted with this news.
Fuck sake, Laurent Fignon has died now :o
One of my abiding memories of cycling was this fella and his long blonde hair on rte during the Tour de France. Back then when you believed cycling was a sport, it probably was a sport back then perhaps. Not the drug fuelled joke it is now.
RIP Laurent.

Mac has stormed into a commanding lead in Celebrity Deaths 2010,its taken 7 Months and 31 days for somebody to register a score,he’ll be hard bet.
Mac 1 everybody else 0
I can only hope Kib man has denounced this thread
Laurent was French cycling royalty and his untimely passing brings back memories of the last royal death in Paris on August 31st - that of King Henry V in 1422. I suppose you could say Laurent was the King of French Cycling.
The 1989 Tour was one the greatest sporting duels of all time. RIP Laurent.
I’ve never been so unhappy to have got a prediction right before. If there’s a trophy handed out for this event I suggest it be named in Micks honour.
Far from a drug fest now and probably cleaner now than in Fignon’s era.
RIP
Of course Lar, of course… :rolleyes:
Does Michael Foot not count?
