In the 40's era, Vivien Leigh was seeded 4th and battled Ann Sheridan, Lauren Bacall, Bette Davis (in which Leigh made a stunning comeback, down by as many as 10 votes at one time), and Ingrid Bergman, which had a thrilling 33-31 finish.
In the 50's era Grace Kelly road was no less easier as she squared off against Anne Baxter, Ava Gardner, Audrey Hepburn (one of the best matches of the tournament as Grace outlasted Audrey 28-26) and finally Debbie Reynolds.
And finally in the just finished 60's era, Natalie had to beat actresses Claudia Cardinale, Shirley Jones, Julie Andrews and finally Doris Day. Natalie overcame the largest tournament deficit to post the comeback win 31-29.
So our final four shapes up with two great semi-final matches as listed below. Voting begins tomorrow morning and will run through Friday night 5pm EST. The winners of those matches will face each other in the Championship Final beginning Saturday and run till Monday 5pm EST. Good luck to all four women involved and I hope everyone will vote on the matches even if their favorite actress is not part of the final four. I'm still playing and Carole Lombard has long since been knocked out of the tournament.

Well, I put all my money on Doris and lost big time. I'm not sure who will make the final two.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't turning out the way I expected at all! I totally thought it would be Doris.
