For what concernes her Oscar achievement, I think the first victory was acceptable (even if the ever-delicious Carole Lombard for My Man Godfrey was maybe better...but we know the rule: comic perf is always reputed lesser than a drama one!), the second not so much (I think the Academy, instead of glorify again Rainer so soon, could have selected Dunne or legendary Garbo as Best Actress, making one of these two stars of that period an Academy Award winner).<br />even if Rainer's career didn't shine for long after her double-shot, I always like her way! so, for what it worths, I give her my respect!<br /><br />mirkoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-90873663626206999322010-01-13T16:03:52.521-05:002010-01-13T16:03:52.521-05:00Doesn't seem like there was a clear frontrunne...Doesn't seem like there was a clear frontrunner for best actress in the years she won the award; although some will argue that Garbo in Camille should have won in'37. I've seen both of her winning performances; I think the Good Earth was the better - at least it was a leading role. Clearly an oscar worthy performance. Her other win in Ziegfeld, I think luck was on her side - a supporting role if that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-36917987917888633172010-01-13T03:31:06.317-05:002010-01-13T03:31:06.317-05:00wow i love that quote. its so true.wow i love that quote. its so true.Shellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211690220239445295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-34143920937266068762010-01-13T00:56:28.339-05:002010-01-13T00:56:28.339-05:00I remember seeing her in an oddity of a film named...I remember seeing her in an oddity of a film named 'Poem' (barely known in German speaking countries and completely obscure in the rest of the world), which consists of a series of great German poems recited by great German actors.<br /><br />Although I forgot most of the film, it's impossible to forget her contribution to the film: Already a ninety-something, she stood in front of a geyser, shouting out the words written by Goethe, throwing her hands in there, and seeming more alive than most people thirty years her junior. <br /><br />A most impressive performance.MrWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-23555746734804705522010-01-13T00:20:34.838-05:002010-01-13T00:20:34.838-05:00I really enjoy her work in The Great Ziegfeld, the...I really enjoy her work in The Great Ziegfeld, the best thing about that turd of a movie... but I couldn't stand her in The Good Earth, or the film for that matter.Bing147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-82705199017744626552010-01-12T23:41:39.480-05:002010-01-12T23:41:39.480-05:00Who else'll make 100?

I was so happy to see them again today! It's a darn shame she did not act more and moved away from Hollywood. Our great loss but oh what WONDERS she left us in her few (14) movie roles!!
