 Katina Paxinou - Overview - MSN Movies
Paxinou distinguished herself in the Classics, not only the ancient Greek tragedies but also the finest works of English and European playwrights.
When World War II broke out, Paxinou emigrated to the U.S. While touring in Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, she was selected to play Spanish freedom fighter Pilar in the 1943 film version of Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls," winning a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her efforts.
Alas, her win turned out to be one of the earliest examples of the "Oscar jinx"; though she continued appearing in Hollywood films until 1949, nothing she ever did measured up to her first screen assignment.
