History

edit

The award was first presented in 1956 and could be for lead or supporting roles. The prize was not awarded on four occasions (1969, 1973–74, and 1990). In 1970, no awards were given as the festival was called off mid-way due to the controversy over the official selection film,o.k.byMichael Verhoeven,which led to the resignation of the international jury. In 2011, the entire female cast ofA Separationreceived the award.Shirley MacLainehas won the most awards in this category, with two.

Sachiko Hidariis the only actress to win a joint award for her roles in two different films in the same competition; she won in 1964 for her performances inThe Insect WomanandShe and He.

The last of this award was given out in 2020, after which it was replaced withgender-neutralcategories,Best Leading PerformanceandBest Supporting Performance,the following year.
