Show Notes

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Sporcle curator Christof to discuss the 1963 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Patricia Neal won for her performance in "Hud," beating Leslie Caron in "The L-Shaped Room," Shirley MacLaine in "Irma la Douce," Rachel Roberts in "This Sporting Life," and Natalie Wood in "Love with the Proper Stranger." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Neal.
