[Patricia Neal was born in Kentucky!!]

Greetings! Thanks for all your efforts to bring us great classic movies. After seeing several films featuring Patricia Neal today, I looked at a bio on your website and noticed that you have her listed as being "Tennessee-born." In fact, she was born in Packard, Kentucky, a small town in Whitley County located on the border of Tennessee, but was raised in Knoxville, TN. The following sources confirm this:

Also, a book featured on your own website confirms this:

According to "I Didn't Know That: Kentucky's Ties to the Stage and Screen" by Ward Harrison (1994), Ms. Neal has been "Kentucky's one film performer to win the coveted Academy Award for Best Acting." (1963's "Hud.)

 

I am proud of Ms. Neal's roots in my native state, and hope that you will fix this error on your website.

 

Also, when I went to the link at the bottom of the page to submit an error, it would not let me choose a category under "Select category."

 

Thanks for your help!!
