  • Shirley Temple! Mr Bill
  • It's true Shirley Temple won an "honorary" Oscar when she was 5 years old for achievements in several films. The youngest actor/actress to win was Tatum O'Neall (10 years old) in 1974. She won the award for Best Supporting Actress in "Paper Moon".
  • "Born on November 5, 1963 into the motion picture family of actor Ryan O'Neal and actress Joanna Moore, Tatum O'Neal is the youngest Oscar winner ever. She was 10 years and 148 days old when she received the Best Supporting Actress award for "Paper Moon" (1973) on April 2, 1974. The second youngest person to win an Oscar is actress Anna Paquin, who was 11 years old when she was voted the Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "The Piano" (1993). In 1934, at the age of 6, actress Shirley Temple was awarded an honorary Oscar for her achievements."
