Best Actress 1947: Olivia de Havilland Fights Back

In 1947, Olivia de Havilland conquered the studio system and bested her rival, Joan Fontaine, by winning her first Oscar. In this video, I tell you how that happened. I also talk a bit about some huge snubs that year: why the Academy was less likely to pick them and what it says about Hollywood in the 1940s. I ll be posting a video for EVERY Best Actress Oscar, so be sure to subscribe to my channel and follow me on Twitter. Showpage:
