I foresee a certain Katie nomination for her that year, with stiff competition from Joan Crawford (<i>Mildred Pierce</i>), Celia Johnson (<i>Brief Encounter</i>), Wendy Hiller (<i>I Know Where I'm Going</i>), Arletty (<i>Children Of Paradise</i>), Peggy Anne Garner (<i>A Tree Grows In Brooklyn</i>), Gene Tierney (<i>Leave Her To Heaven</i>) and Lauren Bacall (<i>To Have And Have Not</i>). What a great year for actresses -- except the years always used to be that way. We think of ourselves as more "evolved" now, more equal, but at least in terms of good roles for women in movies, the times haven't been changing for the better.Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6924668268143757716.post-39778113465627868482009-12-06T17:26:15.371-05:002009-12-06T17:26:15.371-05:00Have to say I much prefer the ring of "Katie-...Have to say I much prefer the ring of "Katie-winning" to "Oscar-winning" ...<br /><br />'Random Harvest', what a classic.
