How did she win the Oscar?!?!?!
I suppose the votes were split between Bette Davis, Joan Fontaine (my pick for Rebecca) and Katharine Hepburn. I still don't know how anyone would have voted for Ginger over those performances. I'm watching Kitty Foyle right now and she's not BAD, but compared to those other three, this is just insanity. I do want to give due to Martha Scott who was also wonderful in Our Town, but I don't know anything else she's done except play Steve Austin's mother in Bionic Woman.
Joan was robbed! But at least the Academy corrected itself and gave her the Oscar the very next year for a lesser performance in Suspicion.
