  • A Woman Robbed: Mia Farrow

    Listen to this PREVIEW of the 6th episode of A Woman Robbed, a special bonus series you can hear on the And the Runner-Up Is Patreon exclusive feed!

    A Woman Robbed is a series in which Kevin is joined by a special guest in discussing women who had significant Oscar buzz heading into the nominations but were ultimately robbed/snubbed/omitted from the Best Actress lineup. In this episode, Kevin speaks with Andrew Carden about Mia Farrow, who earned Oscar buzz and precursor nominations for both "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Purple Rose of Cairo" but did not receive Oscar nominations for either film.
