Mary Badham Facts
For a while, she was the youngest nominee for the Best Supporting Actress award (for To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)) at the age of ten. Then nine-year-old 'Tatum O'Neal (I)' won for her role on Paper Moon (1973) and now holds the record.

After 39 years, Mary came out of retirement to play an offbeat cameo opposite Keith Carradine at the urging of actor/writer/director Cameron Watson for his film Our Very Own (2005). Watson stated he would not accept any other actress for the part. Mary has since indicated that she won't close the door on other acting assignments that might come her way. Watson managed to track Mary down in Monroeville, Alabama, where she had been invited to attend a stage version of "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Her father was a retired army officer who, by the time of her birth, had become president of Bessemer Steel Co. Her English-born mother had been an actress before her marriage.
