More on Fay Bainter
Description from Wikipedia:
Fay Okell Bainter (December 7, 1893 – April 16, 1968) was an Academy Award-winning American actress. She is the aunt of actress Dorothy Burgess and sister-in-law to actress Grace Burgess.
She was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Charles F. Bainter and Mary Okell. In 1910, she was a traveling stage actress. Her Broadway debut was in the role as Celine Marinter in The Rose of Panama (1912). In 1918, her portrait was painted by Robert Henri, the artist who was known for the style of Ashcan School.
She and Reginald Venable were married on June 3, 1921, in Riverside, California.
Her movie debut was in This Side of Heaven (1934), the same year she appeared in Dodsworth on Broadway.
Bainter quickly achieved success, and in 1938 she became the very first performer nominated for both the Oscar for Best Actress, for White Banners (1937), and the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Jezebel (1938), winning for the latter. Since then, only nine other actors have won dual nominations in a single year.
She was again nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Children's Hour (1961).
Fay Bainter died at age 74 of pneumonia in Los Angeles. Because her husband, Reginald Venable, was a military officer, the couple are interred at Arlington National Cemetery. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7021 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood.
