"Jane Wyman" (born January 4, 1914) is an American actress.Born "Sarah Jane Mayfield" in St. Joseph, Missouri, she later took the name "Sarah Jane Fulks" in honor of the neighbor family who "unoficially adopted" her after her parents divorced.In 1928, she and her mother moved to Southern California, where her mother, Le Jerne Pichelle, tried to start her own acting career.When that was unsuccsessful, she turned to her daughter as a surrogate, but neither was able to move Hollywood.The two moved backed to Missouri, where Sarah Jane attended college, but in 1930 she began a radio singing career, calling herself "Jane Durrell".
In 1936, she was back in Hollwyood, obtaining bit parts in ''My Man Godfrey'' and ''Cain and Mabel''.In 1939 she received her first starring role, in ''Torchy Plays With Dynamite''.In the previous year, she had co-starred with Ronald Reagan in ''Brother Rat''.The two were married in 1940, but divorced in 1948.They have two children.
Wyman finally gained critical notice in the film noir ''The Lost Weekend''.She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1946 for ''The Yearling'', and finally won the Oscar in 1948 for her role as the deaf-mute rape victim in ''Johnny Belinda''.
The Oscar win gave her the ability to choose meatier roles, although she still showed a liking for musical comedy.She worked with such directors as Alfred Hitchcock on ''Stage Fright'', with Frank Capra on ''Here Comes the Groom'' and with Michael Curtiz on ''The Story of Will Rogers''.She starred in ''The Glass Menagerie'', ''Just for You'', ''Let's Do It Again'', ''The Blue Veil'' (another Oscar nomination), ''So Big'', ''Magnificent Obsession'' (Oscar nomination), ''Lucy Gallant'', ''All That Heaven Allows'' and ''Miracle in the Rain''.
In the 1950s, she hosted a television anthology series, ''Jane Wyman Theater''.She gained fans of a new generation when she starred in the nighttime soap opera ''Falcon Crest''.
Wyman has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; one for motion pictures at 6607 Hollywood Blvd. and one for television at 1620 Vine Street.
