Janet Gaynor (October 6, 1906 – September 14, 1984)
“Naturally, I was thrilled but being the first year, the Academy Awards had no background or tradition, and it naturally didn’t mean what it does now. Had I known then what it would come to mean in the next few years, I’m sure I’d have been overwhelmed. At the time, I think I was more thrilled over meeting Douglas Fairbanks.” (Gaynor on receiving the first Academy Award for Best Actress in 1928)
