The LOMBARD CUP final matches come to a close

Four of the final six matches turned into some really close ones, especially the Barbara Stanwyck/Susan Hayward match-up. Hayward ended up holding on for a one vote victory by the count of 36-35. It had been a back and forth match the entire week, with Susan finally prevailing. The second closest match was between Bette Davis and Vivien Leigh, with Davis storming back the past two days after trailing for most of the week, for a 36-34 victory. Deborah Kerr held off Janet Leigh 38-29. Audrey Hepburn withstood a late rally by Elizabeth Taylor to win 36-32. The other two matches were never really close with Ann Sheridan beating Ann-Margret 47-20 and the most lopsided match was Olivia de Havilland beating Joan Crawford by wide margin of 55-13. Team Carole picks up 5 more points for their five wins this week and finishes with 14 and a half points to Team Veronica's 6 and a half. And secures the Lombard Cup for one year. I would like to thank Kristen of Journeys in Classic Film for joining me in this annual event. We will be back next year featuring the top classic male stars. And I would like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for their favorite actresses to make this a great success.
