Best Answer

The youngest person to win a Primetime Emmy Award was actress Roxana Zal, who won for her performance in the 1984 made-for-television movie "Something about Amelia." She was 14 years old when she accepted the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Special.

Although in 2012 a YouTube series "Kids React" won a daytime emmy one of the kids was 6 which would make him the youngest winner.

Marlee Matlin was 21 years old when she won the Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Actress for her role in Children of a Lesser God (1986).

Shirley Temple did not receive tan Oscar for Best Actress. She received the Academy's Juvenile Award "in recognition of her outstanding contribution to screen entertainment in 1934."

Marlee Matlin is also one of the few women to win the award without hardly speaking.

Jane Wyman, Marlee Matlin and Holly Hunter are the only actresses in the post-silent era to receive Academy Awards for roles that were non-speaking (in Wyman's case) or predominantly non-speaking (in Matlin and Hunter's cases). Wyman, playing a deaf-mute rape victim in Johnny Belinda (1948), was the first person in the sound era to win an acting Oscar without speaking a line of dialogue. Matlin, who speaks just once when she argues with actor William Hurt, won the award for her American sign language performance in Children of a Lesser God(1986), and Hunter, who narrates several scenes and speaks on camera in the last scene (although her face is covered) for her British sign language role in The Piano (1993). Unlike Matlin, who is almost completely deaf in real life, Hunter and Wyman can hear.

Keisha Castle-Hughes was 13 years old when she was nominated for Best Actress for her role in Whale Rider (2003)
