Her film debut was in Out of the Night ( 1947 ).
Her role in Hondo, opposite John Wayne, garnered her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
In all, despite her relatively small filmography, Page received eight Academy Award nominations.
She finally won the Oscar in 1986 for a performance in The Trip to Bountiful, which was based on a play by Horton Foote.
When she won ( F. Murray Abraham, upon opening the envelope, exclaimed " I consider this woman the greatest actress in the English language "), she received a standing ovation from the audience.
She was surprised by her win ( she openly talked about being a seven-time Oscar loser ), and took a while to get to the stage to accept the award because she had taken off her shoes while sitting in the audience.
She had not expected to win, and her feet were sore.
