Gaynor was the first actress to win the Academy Award as best actress. She won for Sunrise (1927), 7th Heaven (1927) and Street Angel (1928) and continued a successful film career until a near fatal auto accident in San Francisco.
Fun Facts
Janet Gaynor was a bisexual whose early strategy was to divert fan mag questions about her romantic life to discussions of her work. This was less necessary when she was married. Between marriages, and sometimes during them, she apparently had reasons to be discreet that went beyond simply her well-known penchant for privacy.
William Mann’s meticulously researched book Behind the Screen: How Gays and Lesbians Shaped Hollywood 1910-1969 says that Gaynor was a lifelong lesbian, seriously involved with at least two other stars, Margaret Livingston and, most significantly, Mary Martin.
