Scheduled Matches for 50's Era of Favorite Classic Movie Actress Tournament

Below are the scheduled matches with the top 4 seeds of the the 4 categories highlighted. There is one big change from last year's tourney...Doris Day, the top seed of the 60's era will now compete in the 50's era. We will watch closely to see how well she fares in a new era. I think she will do just fine. My pick to win this era though is Elizabeth Taylor. The fun begins Monday March 5th.
