	I'm amazed at how quickly I got all these. I must be older than I think I am.

	Very nice quiz. Would be more challenging if you mix up the order and make it answer-individually.

	@zutluvip Oh I agree it would be more challenging. However, based on the scores so far, this is already an insanely difficult quiz. Even if you know a lot about the oscars, it is hard to know those early winners from a picture from that era. I think of it as a cool movie historical lesson, in that you get to see what some of those women looked like back in the day.

	As far as I know, Louise Rainer, Olivia de Havilland, and Joan Fontaine are the only women on this list who are still alive. Rainer was born in 1910, de Havilland in 1916 and Fontaine in 1917.

	@LTH I know! I love that fact. Plus, the fact that the very first multiple Oscar winner is still alive and that the other two are a pair of sisters. On the other hand, the Best Actor version of this quiz, every single one of them is long passed.

	I agree about answering individually. I knew some of these because I've played many "Name the Oscar winner quizzes" and I just remembered the names, not the faces. It should be a mix of the winners throughout the years.
