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)
