We're putting on a double feature as we look at two films whose actresses tied for the Oscar in 1968: Barbra Streisand for Funny Girl and Katharine Hepburn for The Lion in Winter.
Join in as we discuss the tie itself, these two extremely different performances, the history of Fanny Brice on stage and screen, and the surprising comedy of a drama about twelfth-century English succession squabbles.
Plus: Why did Columbia want to fire Omar Sharif? How many aliases did Nick Arnstein have? Does anyone care about Geoffrey? And is Funny Girl actually good, or is it just Barbra?
