Round Two (Part One) Final Results

There was a lot of scoring in the second round of the tourney. And a few upsets as well. Here are the final numbers for each era.


SILENT/30'S ERA
No you didn't just beat Marlene? Impressive my dear Joan...impressive -
Esther Williams congratulates Joan


GRETA GARBO 80 CLARA BOW 45
GLORIA SWANSON 82 MARY PICKFORD 38
BARBARA STANWYCK 77 CLAUDETTE COLBERT 52
JOAN CRAWFORD 73 MARLENE DIETRICH 60


Records were being set left and right in this era and tons of voters showed up to contribute on average 110 votes per match. Gloria Swanson flirted with most votes registered in a single match with 82, falling 1 vote shy of Irene Dunne's record of 83 votes from just last week. And Marlene Dietrich has the dubious distinction of having the most votes in a losing capacity. 


40'S ERA
Gene Tierney knocked off the legendary Vivien Leigh

GENE TIERNEY 51 VIVIEN LEIGH 44
LAUREN BACALL 54 INGRID BERGMAN 37
BETTE DAVIS 58 JOAN FONTAINE 39
OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND 54 KATHARINE HEPBURN 44


Talk about upset city. This era produced 3 upsets out of the four matches. The biggest one has to be Vivien Leigh losing to Gene Tierney. Leigh becomes the first final four finalist from last year tourney to make an early exit. Quite a shock. 2nd seeds Katharine Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman also were sent home early. Kate lost to Olivia De Havilland while Bergman fell behind early to Lauren Bacall and could never recover. Only Bette Davis advanced as a top seed, crushing Joan Fontaine.


50'S ERA
Ava rolls over Susan Hayward

ELIZABETH TAYLOR 73 ANNE BAXTER 37
AVA GARDNER 67 SUSAN HAYWARD 42
GRACE KELLY 76 SOPHIA LOREN 34
AUDREY HEPBURN 73 DEBORAH KERR 45


No close matches here as the winners rolled on average to a 25 point margin victory. Last year final four finalist Grace Kelly doubled up on Sophia Loren. Elizabeth Taylor, who was sent packing in the second round last year wasn't about to let that happen again. She destroyed Anne Baxter. Ava Gardner whipped up on Susan Hayward. And the much anticipated match between Audrey Hepburn and Deborah Kerr ended up being not so competitive. Hepburn pulled away and never looked back.


60'S ERA
Susannah knocks off top seed Julie Christie

SUSANNAH YORK 41 JULIE CHRISTIE 38
CATHERINE DENEUVE 47 LEE REMICK 36
JEAN SIMMONS 59 CLAUDIA CARDINALE 23
ANNE BANCROFT 51 FAYE DUNAWAY 35


A top seed is going home early as Julie Christie falls to Susannah York in a very close match. The other top seed Jean Simmons had no such problem as she lit up Claudia Cardinale. Catherine Deneuve finally put away the tough Lee Remick. And 6th seed Anne Bancroft continues to work her magic with another upset of a higher seed. This time it's Faye Dunaway who falls victim to Anne.


Winners of this round will begin round 3 competition on Monday.
