1946 Best Actress (feat. Joyce Eng)

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes Joyce Eng to discuss the 1946 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Olivia de Havilland won for her performance in “To Each His Own,” beating Celia Johnson in “Brief Encounter,” Jennifer Jones in “Duel in the Sun,” Rosalind Russell in “Sister Kenny,” and Jane Wyman in “The Yearling.” We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to de Havilland.
