Teresa Wright. The Little Foxes in 1941 and Mrs. Miniver in 1942. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for both films and won the Oscar for Mrs. Miniver in 1943. She was nominated for Best Actress in 1943 as well, for Pride of the Yankees. She was the only person ever to be nominated for the Academy Award for all of her first three films.

Incredible. I’m not familiar with the name, but gosh with a resume like that, it’s sad that we don’t all know that story.

Brilliant movie! This was also super early in her career, 1943 and her fourth movie after the others listed.

Then Casanova Brown (her first less-acclaimed film), then Best Picture-winner and #1 highest-grossing film of the decade The Best Years of Our Lives.

I've only seen Shadow and Best Years, but both are masterpieces.
