Description

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes film journalist Kayleigh Donaldson to discuss the 1966 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Elizabeth Taylor won for her performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?," beating Anouk Aimée in "A Man and a Woman," Ida Kamińska in "The Shop on Main Street," Lynn Redgrave in "Georgy Girl," and Vanessa Redgrave in "Morgan!"
