Luise Rainer

German-born actress (1910–2014)

Luise Rainer ( RY-nər, German: [ˈʁaɪnɐ]; 12 January 1910 – 30 December 2014) was a German-born film actress. She was the first thespian to win multiple Academy Awards, and the first to win back-to-back; at the time of her death, thirteen days shy of her 105th birthday, she was the longest-lived Oscar recipient (and the longest-lived female star from Classic Hollywood), a superlative that has not been exceeded, as of 2026. Rainer started her acting career in Germany at age 16, under the tutelage of Austria's leading stage director, Max Reinhardt.
