2nd round of 30's era is now complete

The 30's era bracket of the 2013 Favorite Classic Movie Actress is in the books. And there was no upsets to speak of. There was a record-setting match though as Joan Blondell crushed Ruby Keeler 71-3 for a 95% share of the votes, a record in tourney play. I love it when new records are set. In the other singer/dancer match, Eleanor Powell danced away with a victory over Bebe Daniels 43-28 to up her maiden tourney record to a perfect 2-0. Over in the funny ladies category, top seed Carole Lombard notched her 10th tourney record with an impressive win over Jean Harlow 50-31. Carole will have a rematch with the other funny ladies winner Myrna Loy, who had a similar victory over another Jean..this one being Jean Arthur by the count of 49-30. These ladies join the other 2nd round winners Greta Garbo, Lillian Gish, Barbara Stanwyck and Norma Shearer to advance to round 3, which starts tomorrow. I'll do a post this evening detailing those matches.
