Jane Wyman was an Oscar-winning American actress and singer with a career spanning more than five decades. She began in the 1930s with musical roles, but her dramatic talent earned acclaim in The Lost Weekend (1945) and a Best Actress Oscar for Johnny Belinda (1948), in which she portrayed a deaf-mute r**e victim—a bold role at the time. She also starred in Magnificent Obsession (1954), All That Heaven Allows (1955), and became a TV icon in the 1980s as Angela Channing on Falcon Crest. Wyman was known for her elegance and poise, and she brought emotional depth to every performance.
