1971 Best Actress (feat. Ryan McQuade)

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes AwardsWatch executive editor Ryan McQuade to discuss the 1971 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Jane Fonda won for her performance in “Klute,” beating Julie Christie in “McCabe & Mrs. Miller,” Glenda Jackson in “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” Vanessa Redgrave in “Mary, Queen of Scots,” and Janet Suzman in “Nicholas and Alexandra.” We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Fonda.
