Description

This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes pop culture writer Maureen Lee Lenker to discuss the 1967 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Katharine Hepburn won for her performance in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," beating Anne Bancroft in "The Graduate," Faye Dunaway in "Bonnie and Clyde," Edith Evans in "The Whisperers," and Audrey Hepburn in "Wait Until Dark." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Hepburn.  0:00 - 6:55 - Introduction 6:56 - 28:28 - Anne Bancroft 28:29 - 52:33 - Faye Dunaway 52:34 - 1:15:05 - Edith Evans 1:15:06 - 1:35:54 - Audrey Hepburn 1:35:55 - 1:48:23 - Katharine Hepburn 1:48:24 - 2:26:13 - Why Katharine Hepburn won / Twitter questions 2:26:14 - 2:31:24 - Who was the runner-up?
