What's at stake for her: This marks Doris first championship match after reaching two Final Fours. If she wins, she would represent the first actress from the 50's era to win. All previous winners have come from the 30's era (three times), the 40's era (once) and the 60's era (once)
The championship match poll can now be voted on and the match will run through Thursday evening at 6pm. Good luck to both women!
Gosh I hope that formula definitely helps Greer to a win this year! I'm so happy she made it to the championship round :)
ReplyDeletePs, gorgeous photo of GG by the way ;)
Voted! Not looking good for my sweet Doris! :(
ReplyDeleteI hope Doris wins!
ReplyDeleteIt's like comparing apples and oranges, they're both wonderful, but Doris is an original. There's never been anyone like her. Great in musicals, comedies, suspense films and dramas, and a personality that jumps off the screen. I can't think of anyone else who is so universally loved and admired.
ReplyDeleteDoris Day is 100 times more talented then Greer Garson! She did both comedy and drama, sings like no other, and could dance as well! This is a mo brainer...Doris Day...all the way!

ReplyDeleteWhy is the poll always closed? No matter when I check and before 6pm Thursday when it supposedly closes, it is closed. I have shared it in numerous groups and we want to vote. Doris Day.
ReplyDeleteI had to restart the match so the new poll is in the post right above this one. Please share that one with your group donna..
