Shelley Winters
Shelley Winters was one of those dedicated actresses who pursued their passion continuously. Her career spanned almost 60 years. Throughout her years as an actress, she earned Academy Awards and various other nominations, especially for her role in The Diary of Anne Frank and A Patch of Blue. Her other notable works includes A Place in the Sun, The Poseidon Adventure, Lolita, Pete’s Dragon, A Double Life, Alfie and The Night of the Hunter. Before she became an actress, her family had to call a moving company to transfer to New York, where she worked as a model.
In 1941, she debuted as a Broadway actress and soon became renowned for her performances. She had also written and published three autobiographical books. One of which revealed how her much-publicized romance with Farley Granger became a long-term friendship in the long run for both actors. Though the award-winning actress was married four times, she did end up finding her happily ever after.
