Round 2 results: Elizabeth Taylor cruises to another easy victory

Liz is all smiles after her win over Julie Andrews

The first two brackets in the 60's era, All-American Girls and British Invasion have just wrapped up. And three of the four matches became very tight down the stretch. Final four finalist from last year, Diana Rigg was sent home early after losing to Jean Simmons 27-20. Diana did make a late rally as she was down by as many as 13 votes yesterday, but she did not have enough time left to make a comeback win. The other match in the British Invasion bracket saw Elizabeth Taylor crush Julie Andrews 37-11. This match was expected to be a close wire thriller and it turned out to be anything but as Liz led easily from the start. Over in the All-American Girls bracket, it was Anne Bancroft outlasting Paula Prentiss 28-20 and Lee Remick withstanding a furious late day charge from Sharon Tate to win 26-19. Congratulations to all the winners and I will have the other two brackets (Song and Dance/A Foreign Affair) up and running within a few hours.

ELIZABETH TAYLOR 37-11 over JULIE ANDREWS
JEAN SIMMONS 27-20 over DIANA RIGG
