Teresa Wright started out as a young Broadway actress and was discovered by Samuel Goldwyn at a performance of Life with Father. Incredibly, she was nominated for an Oscar for each of her first three films. No other actor or actress before or since has had that distinction. Teresa rose quickly to stardom, although she was known to say, "I only ever wanted to be an actress, not a star." She disliked publicity and promotional photos so much that she put it in her contract that she would not do any kind of promotion. She won an Oscar for her role in Miss Miniver (1942) and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. She is well-known for her roles in Shadow of a Doubt, The Best Years Of Our Lives, and Somewhere In Time. Teresa died in 2005 after a heart attack.
