Jane Wyman, the Oscar-winning actress and former wife of Ronald Reagan, has died. She was 90.
Wyman died at her home in Rancho Mirage, California yesterday.
She was born Sarah Jane Mayfield in Missouri in 1917, though many sources give her birthdate as 1914.
In January 1940, when they were both actors, she wed Ronald Reagan in California but their marriage ended in divorce in June 1948.
She was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood in the 1940s and 1950s, and was highly sought-after as a character actress.
Her best known film roles included a rape victim in 'Johnny Belinda', for which she won an Oscar in 1948, and 'Magnificent Obsession' with Rock Hudson, for which she was also nominated.
She starred in 83 movies and the 1980s TV series 'Falcon Crest'; she was nominated for an Academy Award four times in total.
In recent years, she had experienced declining health, including arthritis and diabetes.
