Perhaps one of the greatest actresses you never heard of, Teresa Wright should be remembered for as the only performer to have received Academy Award nominations for her first three films. She was nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress: in 1941 for her debut work in The Little Foxes, and in 1942 for Mrs. Miniver, winning for the latter. That same year, she received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in The Pride of the Yankees, opposite Gary Cooper. She is also known for her performances in Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (1943) and William Wyler's The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). In fact, the first six films she starred in are all considered Hollywood film classics. In addition to film work, Wright received three Emmy Award nominations for her performances in the Playhouse 90 original television version of The Miracle Worker (1957), in the Breck Sunday Showcase feature The Margaret Bourke-White Story, and in the CBS drama series Dolphin Cove (1989). She earned the acclaim of top film directors, including William Wyler, Alfred Hitchcock, Elia Kazan and Francis Ford Coppola. If one is known for the company you keep, then Teresa Wright was in very good company acting opposite to Marlon Brando, Lew Ayres, Bette Davis, Gary Cooper, Fredric March, Myrna Loy and Greer Garson. Her final film role before her passing was as Miss Birdie in John Grisham's The Rainmaker (1997).
