Shared Oscar Nomination with Barbra

August 8, 2010
Veteran actress Patricia Neal passed away at her home on Martha's Vineyard. She was 84.

Neal was one of the five Best Actress nominees in 1969. Her performance in "The Subject Was Roses" lost out to Barbra's "Funny Girl" and Katherine Hepburn's "The Lion In Winter" in a tie.

Patricia Neal has more than 60 films to her credit, including 1963's "Hud" (with Paul Newman) for which she did win a Best Actress Oscar. In 1961, Neal co-starred opposite Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Cult film aficionados will remember Neal for her role in the 1951 sci-fi classic, "The Day the Earth Stood Still."

Neal won a Best Actress Tony in her Broadway debut, the 1947 production of Lillian Hellman's "Another Part of the Forest."
