Luise Rainer – 1910-2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Academy Award winning actress Luise Rainer has passed away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ms Rainer was a German born, Austrian and American actress, who started her career in a German musical, 1932’s Sehnsucht 202<\/em>. Following appearances in several other German-language films in the early 30’s, Ms Rainer was scouted by a Hollywood agent, who convinced her to come to America, where she was cast in a remake of one her own Austrian films, Escapade<\/em> (1935), opposite William Powell. Her next film, The Great Ziegfeld<\/em>, led to her being nominated for, and winning, the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1936. Her next film, The Good Earth<\/em>, saw her receive yet another<\/em> Oscar nomination, and in an event without precedent, win a second Academy Award in consecutive years, for Best Actress.<\/p>\n

The next two years would see her appear in no less than five further films, before she gave away acting, finding the pressure of “stardom” too great a burden to promote her desire to perform. Her other films include The Emperor’s Candlesticks<\/em> and Big City<\/em>, both in 1937, and The Toy Wife<\/em>, The Great Waltz<\/em> and Dramatic School<\/em> in 1938.<\/p>\n

Ms Rainer appeared in 1943’s Hostages<\/em> as part of an attempted comeback (and was supposedly offered a role in La Dolce Vita<\/em> by Fellini, which she eventually turned down), and made a minor cameo in 1997’s The Gambler<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Luise Rainer passed away on December 30th, aged 104.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
