Joanne Woodward Oscar Awards
In 1958, Woodward won the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Three Faces of Eve.

Woodward won two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Mini-Series or TV Movie: for See How She Runs (1978), as a divorced teacher who trains for a marathon; and in Do, You Remember Love? (1985), as a professor who begins to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. She has been nominated an additional five times for her roles on television.
A popular (but untrue) bit of Hollywood lore is that Woodward was the first celebrity to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In fact, the original 1,550 stars were created and installed as a unit in 1960; no one star was official “first”. The first star actually completed was director Stanley Kramer’s. The origin of this legend is not known with certainty, but according to Johnny Grant, the long-time Honorary Mayor of Hollywood, Woodward was the first celebrity to agree to pose with her star for photographers, and therefore was singled out in the collective public imagination as the first awardee.
In 1994, she and her husband have jointly presented the Award for Greatest Public Service Benefiting the Disadvantaged, an award is given out annually by Jefferson Awards.
Joanne Woodward Quotes
- Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that’s a real treat.
- An activist is someone who makes an effort to see problems that are not being addressed and then makes an effort to make their voice heard. Sometimes there are so many things that it’s almost impossible to make your voice heard in every area, but you can sure try.
- My daughter, the one who lives nearby, is raising her children to be very much aware. We went on a nature walk on Monday; I’m learning so much from her.
- I don’t like getting myself in hot water. But suddenly I find that every minute I have to stop and think about what I’m saying. I can see what’s going to happen. I’m going to have to stop giving interviews because I’m always saying the wrong thing. I don’t want that to happen.
