The first round of the 1940's Era classic movie actresses is in the books and there really were no close matches. And no upsets to speak of. The closest match was between Rita Hayworth and Hedy Lamarr, which I expected it to be. The match between Gene Tierney and Greer Garson was close in the early hours until Tierney exploded. The biggest blowouts occurred between Lauren Bacall and Jane Wyman; and between Ingrid Bergman and Jeanne Crain. I think round 2 will yield much closer contests. Here are the results below:
BETTE DAVIS 40-15 over ESTHER WILLIAMS
RITA HAYWORTH 31-18 over HEDY LAMARR
VIVIEN LEIGH 34-17 over ANN SHERIDAN
LAUREN BACALL 40-11 over JANE WYMAN
KATHERINE HEPBURN 35-17 over BETTY GRABLE
GENE TIERNEY 32-20 over GREER GARSON
INGRID BERGMAN 42-10 over JEANNE CRAIN
OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND 39-15 over LANA TURNER
Wow, a lot of the ones I voted for didn't even come close! :( At least Olivia won, though.
