Happy Birthday Luise Rainer

Somehow I missed this, but yesterday was Luise Rainer's 100th birthday (note to self, check Film Experience more often).  Rainer, of course, was the first person to win back-to-back Oscars, for The Great Ziegfeld in 1936 and The Good Earth in 1937.  She only spent five years in Hollywood, but she left an indelible impression.  Click here to read a terrific recent interview about her fascinating life.  As she said:

“My God, one’s life-span is so very short.”
