Leave it to the actresses of the 40's to produce the best matches of the sweet sixteen round so far. After getting off to a blistering start of a 24-14 lead, Bette Davis has seen her advantage over Judy Garland cut to 28-23. All of a sudden this looks like a match as Judy (who won the 40's era bracket last year) isn't about to give up her crown just yet. And in the other semi-final match of this era, Rita Hayworth and Gene Tierney are now tied at 20 votes each.
THE 40'S ERA
BETTE DAVIS leads JUDY GARLAND 28-23
RITA HAYWORTH and GENE TIERNEY tied 20-20
THE 30'S ERA
BARBARA STANWYCK leads GRETA GARBO 31-7
CAROLE LOMBARD leads JOAN BLONDELL 28-12
Barbara Stanwyck continues to steamroll through this era as she leads Greta Garbo 31-7 while my favorite actress of all time Carole Lombard has not had the easiest match but is starting to separate from Joan Blondell by the count of 28-12.
THE 50'S ERA
AUDREY HEPBURN leads DORIS DAY 24-18
AVA GARDNER leads GRACE KELLY 22-20
Two tight matches in the 50's era as Hepburn is up by 6 votes on Doris Day while Gardner has a slim 2 vote edge over reigning 50's era champion Grace Kelly
THE 60'S ERA
SHIRLEY JONES leads ANNE BANCROFT 23-11
DIANA RIGG leads CATHERINE DENEUVE 25-9
It's looking like the final match in this era will be between Shirley Jones and Diana Rigg. Jones leads Anne Bancroft 23-11 while Rigg leads Catherine Deneuve by an even bigger margin of 25-9.
