Part 2 of the second round of funny ladies and singers/dancers had a very interesting first day. And my girl Carole Lombard is getting all she handle from Jean Arthur.
SILENT/30'S ERA
JEAN ARTHUR 52 CAROLE LOMARD 48
MYRNA LOY 60 JEAN HARLOW 22
GINGER ROGERS 59 HATTIE MCDANIEL 20
IRENE DUNNE 74 JEANETTE MACDONALD 11
Carole is in a tough battle with the equally popular Jean Arthur. In fact Jean has led this match the entire way. Come on Carole..get it in gear. The other matches are blow-outs, especially Irene Dunne/Jeanette MacDonald. The defending champion Dunne has already put up 74 points in one day. Looks like the record of most singles votes is gonna be broken yet again.

LUCILLE BALL 45 EVE ARDEN 43
JUDY GARLAND 38 BETTY GRABLE 31

Top seed Rosalind Russell is tied with Jane Wyman in a thrilling match. And Lucy is having a back and forth match with the wise-cracking Eve Arden. And Judy Garland is finally starting to pull away from Betty Grable.
50'S ERA
JANET LEIGH 36 JUDY HOLLIDAY 26

60'S ERA
NATALIE WOOD 43 HAYLEY MILLS 10
JANE FONDA 34 SANDRA DEE 17
JULIE ANDREWS 32 SHIRLEY JONES 19
SHIRLEY MACLAINE 29 ANN-MARGRET 22
Top seed Natalie Wood is crushing Hayley Mills, up by more than 30 votes. The close match going on is between Shirley MacLaine and Ann-Margret. Shirley currently has a 7 vote edge.
Look for these matches to continue today and we'll see how is leading tomorrow when I do an update post.
The race that surprises me the most is Judy Garland - Betty Grable. I would have thought Garland would crush Grable like a bug, but evidently, there are a lot of fans of World War II era pin-ups out there ...
