background: Helen Hayes, often dubbed the "First Lady of the American Theater," was a towering figure in both theater and film, with a career that spanned over 80 years. Born in 1900 in Washington, D.C., she made her Broadway debut at 18 and quickly became known for her extraordinary range and commanding presence on stage. Hayes won an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Sin of Madelon Claudet (1931) and starred in films such as A Farewell to Arms (1932) and My Son John (1952), while maintaining a significant presence in live theater. Her most celebrated stage role was as Queen Victoria in Victoria Regina, which solidified her as a versatile and beloved actress. Hayes was one of the few performers to win the Triple Crown of Acting—an Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award—cementing her legacy as one of the most accomplished actresses in history. Beyond her work on stage and screen, Hayes was a philanthropist, supporting causes like children’s hospitals, and she was known for her grace, humility, and work ethic. Her contributions to the arts, particularly her influence on American theater, continue to resonate to this day.
