"This great comedic and dramatic actress is considered the most durable star of them all; from a stunning screen debut in A Bill Of Divorcement 1931, to winning an unprecedented fourth Academy Award for On Golden Pond in 1981.

Much admired for his styleless style and wry humor, he won the Best Actor Oscar two years in a row, for Captain Courageous 1937 and Boys Town 1938."--W.M.
