Some beautiful and talented actresses. 
 

- Angela Bassett

- Nia Long

- Regina King

- Gabrielle Union

- Lynn Whitfield

- Regina Hall

- Luptia Nyongo

- Dorothy Dandridge

- Viola Davis

[Ampersand13]

Vivien Leigh succeeded in giving the performance of a lifetime in Streetcar, a feat both many hailed female and male actors have not been able to match. 

[EnigmaticAndroid]

Ooh good thread idea 

 

Rebecca Hall needs to land a good role in a major player sometime to finally get into the Oscar conversation. Her performance in Christine alone is just... 

 

[Space Cowboy]

Catherine Zeta Jones did what she had to do in Chicago.

 

Jennifer Lawrence is a FAD.

That film was amazing. Also I believe she’s the first Black woman to win an NYFCC.

She is and she deserves!

[ZORBIT]

Anya Taylor Joy, Mia Goth, and now recently Julia Garner are my top faves to always support whatever they're in

 

Viola's first stump with Michelle Obama will be intriguing to witness 

[State of Grace.]

Yas always wondered why we don't have films general discussion thread outside of the awards season threads.

 

JLaw might be a fad but Mother! >>>>>>> your faves careers btw

[Into The Void]

Jennifer Aniston

I will edit the thread and we can discuss all actresses

I always feel kinda bad for Rachel McAdams. So much wasted potential. She could have and should have been HUGE. Yes she still has many hit films but she stopped being that ***** in the game and now she rarely acts in big films or if she does, it's small and supporting roles (even behind another less talented female actress) like in Doctor Strange.

JLaw is good actually and she is gonna slay in Bad Blood. She fits Elizabeth Holmes way more than Amanda Seyfried (a queen but too nice).

Tea, I hope she can pull a Reese and have a comeback with an acclaimed HBO show  She deserves so much more

I think Lili Reinhart would do well with a good plot, outside of Riverdale. Her performance in Chemical Hearts was quite good imo.

I agree. I find it interesting that Camila Mendes, who I really like, is getting a lot more opportunities to expand her work. Lili isn’t getting as many.

She was in Dangerous Lies on Netflix, Palm Springs with Andy Samberg, and the indie movie Coyote Lake. She also has movies in pre- and post-production.
