The youngest Oscar winner to date was Tatum O'Neal, age 10, in 1973. Patty
Duke was, I think, 16 in 1962. Jodie Foster was 12 in 1975. It is said that
the youngest ever *nominee* was the Kramer v Kramer kid, Justin Henry, age 8
when the movie was made. How old is Anna Paquin? (Shirley Temple received
only honorary Oscars, never a "real" Oscar!!)
Aren't you glad we now all know all of this? ;o)
