It will remain in the history of cinema as the first actress to have so far won twice in a row the Oscar for Best Actress. Luise Rainer, 104 years old, died. The former icon of the golden age of Hollywood died on Tuesday announced his only daughter, Francesca Knittle Bowyer. “ She left with grace and humanity after having fought against pneumonia” , has she told AFP after revealing the death of her illustrious mother via the social network Twitter.

Born in Germany into a wealthy Jewish family, Luise Rainer does not count a filmography as thick as any Hollywood star before the war. If the studios chained movies with impressive speed, Luise Rainer had the luxury of choosing his projects, posing as one of the few actresses of her time to have shown a form of independence from the studios that ” had “their stars and were turning in their productions. “ It leaves an indelible mark on his profession and in all those who knew ,” said his daughter

Having shot “that” in 14 films. – for comparison, Grace Kelly became a legend in the 1950s after 11 films, before marrying the princess status – Luise Rainer will have marked his time and film history by being the first to win an Oscar Best Actress consecutively in 1936 and 1937, for The Great Ziegfeld and Eastern Faces . A feat that even Meryl Streep, the most titled and actress nominated by the Academy did not match. However, another Hollywood legend Katharine Hepburn, managed this feat.

If history holds these facts, Luise Rainer wins in the grave the memory of two Oscars bitter taste. During his lifetime, the actress has consistently maintained that these two statuettes made her the “ life difficult “. “ Nothing worse could have happened to me ,” the actress told her hundredth birthday. Indeed, this prestigious achievement will be the death knell of the Hollywood career of the actress. Criticism is fussy, but the majors entrust him frivolous and light roles, like The Toy Wife , one of the last films Luise Rainer. When asked the boss of MGM more substantial roles, that’s his answer. “ He said, ‘We made you, we will destroy you,’ Well, he will have tried “, she fanfaronnera
