It's back! The 2nd Annual Favorite Classic Actress Tournament returns in March

Another year and another tournament. My favorite classic actress tournament went over so well last year that I am doing it again. And this year will be even bigger. Last year a lot of actresses got left out because I had to limit the number to 64 so the format would work out evenly. And to make it work out like last year I had to double the amount to another even number again. So now it's 128 actresses. But to make this work, I had to enlist some help. Trying to do this on my own would have been a logistical nightmare. So John of Mythical Monkey  mythicalmonkey and Desiree of Rosalind Russell rosalind russell:dazzling star will be helping me pull off the tournament this year. John will handle the 30’s era. Desiree will take care of the 40’s. And I will be responsible for the 50’s and 60’s. Each era will take place on each person’s blog and at the same time. So it will have a nice flow to the tournament and each era won’t have to wait for the other era like last year. I will do the 60’s era on my blog here and do the 50’s era on my friend Dawn’s blog, Noir and Chick Flicks noir and chick flicks. I have chosen the date of Monday March 5th to kick things off. I need to talk to John and Desiree about the length of each round. I’m thinking 3 to 4 days for each round should be sufficient time. Anyway I just wanted to post this to let everyone know that the tournament is coming. And it should be a grand time. Last year Irene Dunne won the whole thing. Let’s see if she can repeat that magic again. This time against a larger field. I for one, can’t wait.
