Chita Rivera wasn't nominated in leading actress either... in Bye Bye Birdie, Rosie is clearly the female lead with Kim as Featured ("Kim" wasn't nominated for either).
We can easily say Tammy won Featured "due" to billing... but would she have beaten Elizabeth Seal who won the award (for Irma La Douce)
and if not Seal, the other nominees...
Julie Andrews – Camelot
Carol Channing – Show Girl
Nancy Walker – Do Re Mi
I have no idea! In this case I bet she might have, which is too bad.
But in Featured her only other competition because Chita in BBB was Nancy Dussault in Do Re Mi. |
