The record for the youngest person to win a competitive Academy Award is held by Tatum O’Neal. In 1974, at the age of just 10 years and 148 days, she won Best Supporting Actress for her role as Addie Loggins in 'Paper Moon,' where she starred alongside her real-life father, Ryan O’Neal. Before her win, the Academy often gave children 'Honorary Juvenile Awards' (like Shirley Temple’s miniature Oscar), but O’Neal competed in a standard category against adult veterans. Other notable young winners include Anna Paquin, who won at age 11 for 'The Piano' (1993), and Patty Duke, who won at 16 for 'The Miracle Worker' (1962). O'Neal's record has stood for over 50 years, despite child actors like Quvenzhané Wallis (age 9) receiving nominations in later years.
