The 3rd Annual Favorite Classic Movie Actress Tourney Selections

March Madness, All Good Things style, returns with the 3rd annual Favorite Classic Movie Actress Tournament. 128 actresses will be competing to see who will hoist the banner of favorite classic movie actress for 2013. Previous winners Irene Dunne and Ginger Rogers are ineligible to compete due to their respective wins. So a new champion will be crowned. Will they come from the 30's era as Irene and Ginger have done? Or will they come from another era? Will Natalie Wood (60's) or Grace Kelly (50's) who have both made the final four the past two years finally break thru and win the coveted trophy. Time will tell as the fun begins Sunday March 3rd.
