The Sweet Sixteen Round has come to a close and out of the 8 matches only one had any real drama. In one of the best matches all tourney so far, Doris Day and Deborah Kerr traded blows all week long with multiple lead changes to see Doris finally escape with a one vote win 38-37. In the other 50's era match-up, it was Audrey Hepburn finally beating Grace Kelly after losing two previous times, 54-20. That is the worst loss Grace Kelly has ever had in tourney play. Hell it makes for only her 4th loss compared to her 20 wins. Here are the complete scores of all the other matches in the other eras:
30'S ERA:
BARBARA STANWYCK defeated GRETA GARBO 49-16
MYRNA LOY defeated JOAN BLONDELL 43-22
40'S ERA:
BETTE DAVIS defeated RITA HAYWORTH 50-7
OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND defeated TERESA WRIGHT 50-10
