Who is your favourite from each year in the 1930s? My current votes go like so though there are always more films to see so one must always reserve the right to change one's mind.
- 1930 Norma Shearer, The Divorcee
- 1931 Marie Dressler, Min & Bill
- 1932 Marlene Dietrich, Blonde Venus
- 1933 Greta Garbo, Queen Christina
- 1934 Claudette Colbert, It Happened One Night
- 1935 Katharine Hepburn, Alice Adams
- 1936 Carole Lombard, My Man Godfrey
- 1937 Irene Dunne, The Awful Truth
- 1938 Bette Davis, Jezebel
- 1939 Vivien Leigh, Gone With the Wind (though I'll admit to being somewhat torn because Dark Victory is my favourite pre 1950s Bette Davis performance)
