This week on And the Runner-Up Is, Kevin welcomes culture critic and film programmer Murtada Elfadl to discuss the 1952 Oscar race for Best Actress, where Shirley Booth won for her performance in "Come Back, Little Sheba," beating Joan Crawford in "Sudden Fear," Bette Davis in "The Star," Julie Harris in "The Member of the Wedding," and Susan Hayward in "With a Song in My Heart." We discuss all of these nominated performances and determine who we think was the runner-up to Booth.
