Actress Jane Wyman, who was Ronald Reagan's first wife, died today. She was 93.

Wyman got her big break when she appeared in The Lost Weekend. The following year, she got her first Oscar nomination for The Yearling. She actually won in 1948 for Johnny Belinda (a role in which she didn't talk). She had her own TV show, Jane Wyman Presents the Fireside Theater, and was a regular on Falcoln Crest. Her last appearance was on an episode of Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman in 1993.
