Luise Rainer, the German-born actress who won back-to-back Lead Actress Oscars in the late 1930s for The Great Ziegfeld and The Good Earth, turned 100 Jan. 12. She is the oldest living Oscar winner.
Rainer's movie roles dried up soon after her success, and she fled to Europe soon after, making only a handful of movies and TV appearances thereafter. One of her most recent credits was a 1984 appearance on The Love Boat.
Another leading lady of the 1930s, Gloria Stuart, who made a huge comeback as the "Old Rose" in Titanic, for which she earned an Oscar nomination, will turn 100 in July.
