Luise Rainer

Actress; longest-lived Oscar winner (1936, 1937) -- via Claudia Luther at the L.A. Times. A renowned actress, she was the first to win back-to-back Oscars, for her roles in "The Great Ziegfeld" and "The Good Earth." Ironically, she never could fit in to the Hollywood ethos, and soon abandoned filmmaking.
