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

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.

I think Bancroft, Taylor, Hepburn and Smith did the best. <3

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!

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.
