 Mary Pickford, Best Actress Oscar 1929
Pickford's main competition that year was Ruth Chatterton, expected to win the award for her role in Madame X, but it was rumored that Pickford had it worked into her contract for Coquette, that she would take home the big prize.
While Mary's voice seemed to fit the character to some extent, it had an impact on her career, as it seemed far too ordinary to match the screen persona that she had built over the past several years.
Pickford went on to win the Oscar for her work, much to the surprise of others who felt that Ruth Chatterton was the shoe-in for Madame X. "It was a creditable first try," said Photoplay.

Brent had been married once early in his career to a woman named Helen, and then to Ruth Chatterton, with whom he had co-starred in The Rich Are Always with Us (1932, which also featured Davis), and The Crash (1932), but he didn't seem to take his wedding vows too seriously.
"George Brent's marriage to Ruth Chatterton came apart the year Housewife was released [1934], and Davis seemed to be living off-screen her role of home-breaking siren now that George was about to join the legions of the free.
In reality, she did not break up the marriage and Chatterton was certainly not anyone's idea of a housewife!

from Putney, VT I find that you either like Ruth Chatterton or you hate her.
She is hardly remembered anymore but her excellent performance here as the unwed mother who gives up her child only to have him defend her in a trial for murder deservedly earned an Oscar nom (she was Jeanne Eagels' only real competition in the second Oscar derby).
Barrymore's direction also earned a nom, but the camera is very static and except for Miss Chatterton, the acting is mediocre.
