Show Notes
This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Nathaniel Rogers to discuss the 1947 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Loretta Young won for her performance in "The Farmer's Daughter," beating Joan Crawford in "Possessed," Susan Hayward in "Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman," Dorothy McGuire in "Gentleman's Agreement," and Rosalind Russell in "Mourning Becomes Electra." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Young.
