A leading lady of Depression-era Hollywood whose career then kept going for another six decades. Sidney carried dozens of starring roles through the 1930s, often playing women worn down by hard circumstance, before reinventing herself late in life for new audiences — earning an Academy Award nomination in 1973 and, at 78, winning a Saturn Award as the chain-smoking afterlife caseworker Juno in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice.
