This answer is both incorrect and misconstrued. The question was regarding Cannes, not the Oscars. And it said back-to-back, not 2 actresses in the same category for the same film in 1 year.

Also, just to correct you, Elizabeth Taylor did not win for Suddenly, Last Summer. Out of the list above, the ONLY person who won was Shirley MacLaine for Terms of Endearment, who beat Debra Winger. Other 8 women all won for different roles, not those.
