Jane Wyman, the Academy Award-winning star of Johnny Belinda and many other film classics, passed away this morning at the age of 93.Wyman started her career in Hollywood as a contract player at Warner Brothers, but it wasn't until she was loaned out to Paramount for the Oscar-winning The Lost Weekend that she became a star. Roles in The Yearling, The Glass Menagerie and Here Comes the Groom solidified her stardom, and she'll always be a favorite for her two Douglas Sirk melodramas (co-starring Rock Hudson) Magnificent Obsession and All That Heaven Allows, and as the rigid Aunt Polly in Disney's Pollyanna.
Her later career was mostly devoted to television, including her own self-titled anthology series and the popular primetime soap, Falcon Crest, for which she won the Golden Globe playing the winemaking matriarch, Angela Channing.
