1975 Best Actress (feat. Joey Gentile)

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes producer and Academy Queens cohost Joey Gentile to discuss the 1975 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Louise Fletcher won for her performance in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” beating Isabelle Adjani in “The Story of Adele H.,” Ann-Margret in “Tommy,” Glenda Jackson in “Hedda,” and Carol Kane in “Hester Street.” We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Fletcher.
