Can you name this Canadian-American Hollywood star, the first person to be nominated five times for an Academy Award for acting?

Answer Norma Shearer

Now celebrated as a feminist pioneer, Norma Shearer has been called "the first American film actress to make it chic and acceptable to be single and not a virgin on screen." On turning down Vivien Leigh's star-turning role in 'Gone with the Wind', Shearer commented, "Scarlett O'Hara is going to be a thankless and difficult role. The part I'd like to play is Rhett Butler."
