1949 Best Actress (feat. Fritz)

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Fritz, of Fritz and the Oscars, to discuss the 1949 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Olivia de Havilland won for her performance in "The Heiress," beating Jeanne Crain in "Pinky," Susan Hayward in "My Foolish Heart," Deborah Kerr in "Edward, My Son," and Loretta Young in "Come to the Stable."
