LUISE RAINER
Black and white 5x7 photograph of the only actress to ever win back-to-back Best Actress
Oscars
Photograph signed: "June 82./ Best wishes/Luise Rainer", in blue ink, b/w, 5x7. Luise Rainer
(1910-2014) was awarded successive Best Actress Academy Awards for The Great
Ziegfeld (1936, which also earned her the moniker "The Viennese Teardrop") and The Good
Earth (1937). She was the first woman to win two Oscars, and the first actor to win two
consecutive ones. She later considered the back-to-back Oscar wins a misfortune, raising
expectations too high, and she is considered by many the most glaring example of the "Oscar
jinx." She moved from the U.S. to England in the early 1940s and largely retired from film.
Her patron, producer Irving Thalberg had died, and MGM head Louis B. Mayer did not like
her. She reappeared years later on TV, even starring in an episode of The Love Boat
(1984), and played a grandmother in the 1997 film The Gambler. Stamping and pens notes
in unknown hand on verso (no show-through). Mounting remnants on verso. Otherwise, fine
condition.
