Four close matches in the previous round but all the pre-tournament heavyweights emerged to compete for a shot at the Final Four.
For the right to represent the 1930s bracket, we have Barbara Stanwyck and Myrna Loy. In the 1950s, it's Audrey Hepburn versus Deborah Kerr.

Round Three!
Did you know that Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly have squared off every year since this tournament began and the winner has always wound up representing the 1950s bracket in the final four. Amazingly, neither actress has won the whole thing. Maybe this is the year.
Round three runs until Saturday.

Round Two! Vote Now!
The first half of round two starts now and runs through lunch on Wednesday. Only one upset in the opening round with Eleanor Parker edging Maureen O'Hara, 21-16. Would have bet money on Big Mo making it through to the third round at least. Shows what I know.
