Garson won the Oscar for Best Actress in 1942 for her role as a strong British wife and mother in the middle of World War II in Mrs. Miniver.   She gave the longest acceptance speech ever, at five minutes and 30 seconds, after which the Academy Awards instituted a time limit.

Garson was partnered with Clark Gable after his return from war service, in “Adventure” (1945). The film was advertised with the catch-phrase “Gable’s back and Garson’s got him!”   Gable argued for “He put the Arson in Garson”; she countered with “She Put the Able in Gable!”
