A Woman Robbed: Tallulah Bankhead and Deborah Kerr
Listen to this PREVIEW of the 9th episode of A Woman Robbed, a special bonus series you can hear on the And the Runner-Up Is Patreon exclusive feed!
A Woman Robbed is a series in which Kevin is joined by a special guest in discussing women who had significant Oscar buzz heading into the nominations but were ultimately robbed/snubbed/omitted from the Best Actress lineup. In this episode, Kevin speaks with Dashiell M. Silva about two performances that won Best Actress at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards but weren’t even nominated at the Oscars: Tallulah Bankhead (“Lifeboat”) and Deborah Kerr (“Black Narcissus”).
We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them.
