Summary Born Laura Gaynor, Janet Gaynor believed since she was a young child that riches and fame were to come her way. Her predetermination seemed to be true as she landed a job as an extra within a week of arriving in Hollywood. She was quickly noticed on the studio lot, which led to a short interview, a short screen test, and the second leading part in a movie. Her rise to stardom was quick, most notably with the presentation of the Academy Awards, being awarded the first ever Best Actress Oscar for a trio of film roles, and her frequent on-screen pairing with Charles Farrell, which the public adored. With Farrell often at her screen side, she made the transition to talkies, including in what was to be the first musical written for the screen, Sunnyside Up (1929). Her pairings with Farrell would abruptly come to an end in the mid 1930's with the merger of Fox and 20th Century Studios, when her contract would not being renewed. However, her second rise to fame as a freelance player would soon come in the starring role in A Star Is Born (1937). She gave up acting shortly thereafter to become the wife of famed Hollywood fashion designer Adrian.
