"Luise Rainer" (born January 12, 1910) is a German actress.Born in Dusseldorf, she lost most of her family in the Holocaust.She became an American citizen in the 1940s, but has lived in the United Kingdom for many years.
Rainer appeared in several German language films before going to Hollywood in 1935.Two years later, she had won two consecutive Academy Awards for Best Actress, for ''The Great Zigfield'' in 1936 and ''The Good Earth'' in 1937.Refusing to be stereotyped, and to knuckle under to the studio system, she married playwright Clifford Odets in 1937, but divorced him three years later after a stormy relationship.She stopped making films altogether after ''Hostages'' in 1943, although she did appear in a single episode of the World War II television series ''Combat'', and even took a dual role in an episode of ''The Love Boat''.

This year s Oscar competition for best actress is shaping up to be a one-horse race, and that s a pity. It will be a gigantic surprise if Charlize Theron does not get the Oscar for her performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster.
