	Luise Rainer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luise Rainer (born January 12, 1910 in either Düsseldorf, Germany or Vienna, Austria) is a film actress.
		Rainer's Oscars mattered little to Mayer; she was not a personal favorite of his on the order of Greer Garson or Jeanette MacDonald, and his studio was going full-throttle in the late 1930s.
		Rainer made sporadic television and stage appearances in the following decades, appearing in a single episode of the World War II television series Combat in 1965, and took a dual role in an episode of The Love Boat in 1984.

	Biography for Luise Rainer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Luise Rainer, the first thespian to win back-to-back Oscars, was born on January 12, 1910 in Dusseldorf, Germany into a prosperous Jewish family.
		Rainer, who made her screen debut as a teenager and appeared in three other German-language films in the early '30s, terminated her European career when the Austrian Adolf Hitler consolidated his power in Germany.
		Most observers agree that Rainer won her Oscar as the result of her moving and poignant performance in just one, single scene in the picture, the famous telephone scene in which the broken-hearted Held congratulates Ziegfeld over the telephone on his upcoming marriage to Billie Burke while trying to retain her composure and her dignity.

		Rainer's role is a cameo that comes halfway through the film, but if it's a cameo, it is true ivory, and nothing about the film even matters after her departure.
		Powell taught Rainer, who had made a few indifferent films in Germany, to turn around in a shot so she wouldn't be upstaged.
		All these years later, Rainer says she is apolitical, yet she readily admits to concern with the situation in Yugoslavia.

	Extravagant Crowd \| Luise Rainer
		Rainer had few lines in the film, and she rarely looked directly at the camera.
		Because of its difference from her earlier roles, Rainer’s O-lan was widely praised as evidence of her strength and range as a dramatic actress.
		According to Hollywood superstition, Rainer was a victim of the so-called Oscar Curse; it was with Rainer, in fact, that the myth that Oscar success might actually signal the end of one’s career originated.

		Following The Good Earth Rainer was seen in The Emperor's Candlesticks, Big City (both 1937), The Toy Wife, The Great Waltz and Dramatic School (all 1938)-most of them casting her in similar parts calling for a naive, almost schoolgirlish charm.

		Luise Rainer came off fairly believable but to have Uncle Henry from "The Wizard of OZ" playing the venerable father was too much.

	The Good Earth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Luise Rainer, his female lead in The Good Earth, was an overnight sensation, winning the Best Actress Oscar for a second consecutive year for her role here as O-Lan, taciturn and dutiful wife to Muni's Wang Lung.
		Despite their extraordinary fame and high professional stature, neither Muni nor Rainer was able to sustain a top-level career after the close of the 1930s, and in that way, their faces automatically date The Good Earth to a very particular interval in Hollywood history.
		Lavish visual spectacle had been a major selling point for American movies since their inception, but by 1937, a full decade into the era of synchronized sound, a theatrical emphasis on group conversations and intimate domestic scenarios had become common to films in all genres, lest they look or sound antiquated.

	REELINSIDER.COM - THE GREAT ZIEGFELD (1936)
		When the two end up in Paris to sign French star Anna Held (Luise Rainer) to a contract, Ziegfeld uses his superior with and charm to end up her patron and suitor.
		From there Ziegfeld's journey becomes a kaleidoscope of personal foibles displayed against his successes as a musical theater producer and promoter, always two steps ahead of his earnings but firmly in touch with the cutting edge of mass entertainment.
		As such this biopic works because its central figures remain sympathetic, or at the very least suggestive of what we'd expect of extraordinary people situated within their real life circumstances.
