Best Actress Oscar Winners of the 1960s

AGONY AND ECSTASY: Sophia Loren was so nervous about her Oscar prospects for 1961’s "Two Women" that she ditched the whole ceremony and stayed in Rome. She needn’t have worried. Her tragic turn as a single mother in World War II Europe was the first performance from a foreign language film to be honored with a best actress award. Actress Greer Garson (shown with Burt Lancaster) accepted the award on her behalf.
