    Who is the youngest Oscar winner? What about the oldest?

    Question #70958. Asked by loominitsa.

    elburcher

    The youngest person to ever receive an Oscar was 5-year-old Shirley Temple - in 1934.
    (However, Shirley's Oscar was an honorary one)
    The youngest actress to win a standard Oscar was Tatum O'Neal, who was 10 years old when she won the Best Supporting Actress award for "Paper Moon" in 1974.)

    The oldest, Jessica Tandy, who won her Best Actress Oscar at age 81 for "Driving Miss Daisy."
