Bette Davis vs Carole Lombard for the title

You couldn't have asked for a better championship match to decide the favorite classic movie actress for 2013. After years of higher seeds such as 10th seed Irene Dunne and 7th seed Ginger Rogers winning the coveted title against a 4th seed Vivien Leigh and top seed Natalie Wood, this is the first match in tourney championship history, where both actresses are number 1 seeds. Bette was a top seed in the 40's era in the drama queens category while Carole was a overall top seed for the top four women in the entire tourney. So this should be one doozy of a match. Here are the stats for the two ladies:
