I think this decade produced amazing, innovative roles for women in film. All actresses deserved their respective Oscars and it will always be one of my favorite decades in film.
An AMAZING decade for this category. Apart from Taylor (Butterfield), Hepburn (G.W.C.T.D?) , and maybe Julie Andrews, all of the winners were fantastic, and deserving!
1960: Deborah Kerr ("The Sundowners"); 1961: Deborah Kerr ("The Innocents"); 1962: Katharine Hepburn ("Long Day's Journey Into Night"); 1963: Patrician Neal ("Hud"); 1964: Sophia Loren ("Marriage Italian Style"); 1965: Elizabeth Hartman ("A Patch of Blue"); 1966: Elizabeth Taylor ("Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"); 1967: Bibi Anderson ("Persona"); 1968: Barbra Streisand ("Funny Girl"); and 1969: Maggie Smith ("The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie").
The film won the Academy Award for Best Actress for Sophia Loren. This was the first time an acting Oscar had been given for a non-English-speaking performance.
What a sad honor, my mother got to share the obit pages with Anne Bancroft for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts alumni publication six years ago. They didn't graduate the same year.
I think Bancroft, Taylor, Hepburn and Smith did the best. <3

La Liz! Wasn't she just recovering from a nearly fatal bout of pneumonia when she won this Oscar?

Isn't Two Women (1961) supposed to be in Italian? And I don't think that was Two Women.
