There is some sad news for the film industry today - Academy Award-winning actress Patricia Neal has died. According to CNN.com, the 84-year-old former starlet passed away Sunday at her home in Edgartown, Massachusetts. The cause of her death was not disclosed to the media. "The theatrer and movie world has lost a great talent but, at the Patricia Neal Rehabilitation Center, we have also lost a friend," the health center which bears her name said in a statement to the press. Neal is best known for playing Alma Brown in the 1963 western drama "Hud," a performance which won her the Oscar.
