Neal Lands Nashville Lifetime Achievement Award

Hollywood veteran Patricia Neal has been honoured with a lifetime achievement award at the Nashville Film Festival.

Neal - who was married to legendary British author Roald Dahl - was presented with the prize at a ceremony on Tuesday (22Apr08) night by fellow actor Lyle Lovett, her co-star in Robert Altman's 1999 film Cookie's Fortune.


Neal is currently filming forthcoming movie Flying By with Billy Ray Cyrus.
