2013 Favorite Classic Movie Actress Tournament: 1930's Era Bracket

Here are the scheduled matches in the 30's era bracket that will kick off tomorrow Sunday, March 3rd. Just wanted to post them now so everyone will have an idea of what to expect. My co-bloggers who are helping me with this tourney will post their respective matches for the eras they chose this weekend too. But here are mine for the 30's. Please keep in mind that only the first two brackets (They Had Faces, Tough Broads/Pre-Code Babes) will begin on March 3rd while the other two brackets (Funny Ladies, Singers/Dancers) start on Wednesday, March 6th. Doing it that way as not to overwhelm everyone. Oh and here are the links to my friends who are handling the other eras so you can check out those matches as well: the 40's here:  rosalind-russell.blogspot; the 50's here:  journeysinclassicfilm; and the 60's here:  mythicalmonkey.blogspot

And you will note a lot of actresses making their tourney debut this year including Glenda Farrell, Thelma Todd,  Kay Francis, Ann Dvorak, Eleanor Powell and Una Merkel. Oh and also I have included match play wins and losses to the actresses overall record. And you can cast your votes on the polls that will be located on the right hand sidebar of this blog.
