Yes. It was the British star's first of two Best Actress Oscars for playing notorious Southern belles. Besides the 1939 Academy Award she won for her performance as Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone with the Wind," Leigh also won the 1951 Best Actress award for her portrayal of Blanche DuBois in "A Streetcar Named Desire."
