Helen Hayes - First Lady of American Theater

Helen Hayes MacArthur (born in Washington, D.C. on October 10, 1900 – March 17, 1993) was an American actress of Irish, Dutch, and English descent whose career spanned eighty-two years and regarded as the "First Lady of American Theatre."

Hayes made her stage debut at the age of five with her mother's encouragement. At age nine, she made her Broadway debut, and a year later, she was cast in the one-reel Vitagraph film.

She moved to Hollywood in 1931 when her husband became a screenwriter for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where she also became a contract player. She made her film debut in The Sin of Madelon Claudet (1932), for which she received an Academy Award. Although she made a number of later films, within four years she returned to Broadway for the greatest success of her career: Gilbert Miller's production of Victoria Regina.

Hayes would return intermittently to Hollywood with featured roles in films, television, and radio, including a film comeback in disaster film Airport (1970), earning her a second Oscar. She retired in 1985 and spent her remaining years in her longtime home of Pretty Penny, in Nyack, New York, where she died of congestive heart failure at 92.

New orchid just opened: Paphiopedilum chamberlainianum, alternate name is Paphiopedilum victoria-regina. I think it’s my favorite so far. Unlike the others it’s a sequential bloomer and should keep blooming one or two at a time for months to a year. What a cutie!

I am delighted to join you in Clydebank today for the launch of this, the latest royal yacht. I hope that this brand-new vessel, like your brand-new queen, will prove to be dependable and constant. Capable of weathering any storm. I now take great pride in naming this ship "Britannia." I wish success to her. And to all who sail in her. ♚
