Janet Gaynor (October 6, 1906 – September 14, 1984) was a highly successful actress of the silent film and early talkie eras.
She started acting when she was sixteen years old and was known for winning the first ever Best Actress Academy Award. Due to the [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness rules]] that year, she won for three different films she had made in the previous two years: ''Film/SeventhHeaven'', ''Film/StreetAngel'', and ''Film/{{Sunrise}}''. All three went on to become classics of the silent era. It was also notable in that she was only twenty-two when she won, making her the youngest winner of the award until 1986 when Marlee Matlin won for ''Film/ChildrenOfALesserGod'', a whopping ''fifty-eight'' years later. She was also nominated for the original version of ''Film/AStarIsBorn1937'', starting the good luck charm that has allowed three out of four actresses who played the role to be nominated for an Oscar for it.
