Jane Wyman, 1914 - 2007.

Magnificent Obsession
Where did Jane Wyman's greatest fame lie? Was it as an Oscar-winning actress? For her frequent work with Douglas Sirk in the 1950s? As the first wife of a future US president? As the wicked matriarch on one of the lesser nighttime soap operas of the 1980s? The answer probably varies from person to person as they recall Wyman, who passed away this morning at 93.
