You should see Isabelle Fuhrman in Orphan.

But none, not one, no one IMO can top Gene Tierney in Leave Her to Heaven. I know I have seen this movie over 100 times and I will watch it 100 more.

Here is a clip of the movie where she commits her first murder.

Here is a picture from that scene.

I have seen that film also. She was evil within the conventions allowed in 1940's Hollywood. The villainesses in modern films, however, are allowed to be more graphic in their violence.

@wandeljw,
I definitely agree and I think that is why she seems so evil to me. Even without all the graphic violence her performance always gives me goosebumps.

Great call Wandel. So damaged yet so remorseless.

@joefromchicago,
Angelina made the whole exercise worth-while.

When I was a kid watching the old Flash Gordon serial, I had a crush on the daughter of Ming the Merciless.

@Setanta,
Can't say that I have. I'll check it out! Thanx!

Just watched a clip of Legend on youtube. That guy is a great actor. Anything I have seen him in I believe he's that part. LOL!

@Linkat,
Honestly, I didn't really find Kathy Bates believable in Misery. Grant she probably did the best she could with the material, but she was playing a caricature. I don't think she could have succeeded.

I agree these are excellent characters! I loved Marley and Me! Great movie! But I was actually looking for believable villains. Otherwise I would have posed several Jody Foster films as the solution to this question.
