30's era:
GRETA GARBO defeated ANN DVORAK 33-24
MYRNA LOY defeated JEAN HARLOW 33-25
BARBARA STANWYCK defeated NORMA SHEARER 40-19
JOAN BLONDELL defeated BILLIE BURKE 45-10
Greta Garbo and Myrna Loy rolled to easy victories which was not too surprising. But it was surprising that Stany had such an easy time beating Norma Shearer. Thought that match would have been much closer. And Joan Blondell had the biggest margin of victory by crushing Billie Burke by 35 votes
40's era:
BETTE DAVIS defeated JUDY GARLAND 53-16
RITA HAYWORTH defeated GENE TIERNEY 36-29
TERESA WRIGHT defeated JOAN LESLIE 45-19
OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND defeated INGRID BERGMAN 38-37
Wow...Bette decimated Judy by 37 votes for this era's biggest blow-out. The best match though was between Ingrid Bergman and Olivia de Havilland. It has been back and forth for the longest before Livvie eventually won by a single vote!
50's era:
DORIS DAY defeated MARILYN MONROE 44-32
DEBORAH KERR defeated JANET LEIGH 51-24
AUDREY HEPBURN defeated SUSAN HAYWARD 51-23
GRACE KELLY defeated LANA TURNER 51-22
Talk about blow-outs. Every match in this era was decided by 12 or more votes with the closest match being between Day and Monroe. The other three matches were decided by 25 or more votes. History making too when Grace Kelly notched her 20th tourney win, the most by any actress in tourney and match play.
60's era:
ROMY SCHNEIDER defeated CATHERINE DENEUVE 36-29
NATALIE WOOD defeated SHIRLEY MACLAINE 45-28
ELIZABETH TAYLOR defeated JEAN SIMMONS 46-26
LEE REMICK defeated ANNE BANCROFT 40-29
Romy Schneider edged out Catherine Deneuve in this era's closest match. While Elizabeth Taylor advances to the sweet sixteen for her very first time. When she competed in the 50's era in previous tourneys, she never made it past round 3. So looks like moving to the 60's era was a very smart idea.
Round 4 (the Sweet Sixteen) will begin tomorrow morning. I will have the match-ups posted later on this evening.
