Description

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes writer and podcaster Josh Parham to discuss the 1962 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Anne Bancroft won for her performance in "The Miracle Worker," beating Bette Davis in "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?," Katharine Hepburn in "Long Day's Journey Into Night," Geraldine Page in "Sweet Bird of Youth," and Lee Remick in "Days of Wine and Roses." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Bancroft. 0:00 - 10:42 - Introduction 10:42 - 44:11 - Bette Davis 44:12 - 1:07:35 - Katharine Hepburn 1:07:36 - 1:27:09 - Geraldine Page 1:27:10 - 1:45:19 - Lee Remick 1:45:04 - 1:59:16 - Anne Bancroft 1:59:17 - 2:28:30 - Why Anne Bancroft won / Twitter questions 2:28:31 - 2:34:46 - Who was the runner-up?
