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 Matt Duffy about two performances of the '60s that weren't nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars: Deborah Kerr ("The Innocents") and Joan Crawford ("What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"). We discuss their performances, talk about why they came up short, and reveal whether we would have nominated them.    You can listen to the full episode of A Woman Robbed by going to patreon.com/andtherunnerupis and contributing at the $3 per month tier.
