Poll: Female Oscar Nominees & Winners at the Age of 32
Just like the previous edition, the celebration of IMDb's 32nd Anniversary will be made into two separate lists: one for male and one for female performers.
So here's the first list of performances that earned actresses (or female actors) an Oscar nomination or win on the year of their 32nd birthday.
Which of these performances (ranked chronologically) would you consider your favorite?
After the vote, you might discuss the list here (oh, and the * refers to a supporting role)
As usual, using the same convention as for the last seven editions, the age 32 is simply the result of a simple subtraction of years (Oscar year minus birth year).
