This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes writer/editor Lauren LaMagna to discuss the 1951 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Vivien Leigh won for her performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire," beating Katharine Hepburn in "The African Queen," Eleanor Parker in "Detective Story," Shelley Winters in "A Place in the Sun," and Jane Wyman in "The Blue Veil." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Leigh.
