Fay Bainter (December 7, 1893 – April 16, 1968) was an Academy Award-winning American actress. Bainter was born Fay Okell Bainter in Los Angeles, California. Although her occupation in 1910 was traveling actress, her film debut didn't occur until This Side of Heaven in 1934, the same year in which she appeared in Dodsworth on Broadway. She quickly achieved success, and in 1938 she became the very first performer nominated for both the Oscar for Best Actress, for White Banners, and the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, for Jezebel, winning for the latter. Since then, only ten other actors have won dual nominations in a single year. Fay Bainter died from pneumonia at the age of 75.
