Question
Who was the first British Actress to win an Oscar

Answer
Joy:

If you're referring to the Best Actress Oscar, it would have been Vivien Leigh for Gone With the Wind. If you include Supporting Actress, I don't know the answer, but you can research it here:

Expertise

I can usually find the answers to most factual questions regarding stars and films from the 1970s and earlier, or tell you where to look. I'm not going to be able to help you with more recent films, and especially with made-for-TV movies from the 90s and later.

Experience

I've run a Web site on the general topic of classic movies for over ten years, and am a lifelong movies fan.
