@tsarstepan,

Honestly?

Whenever there's one in a movie, I want to bitch slap her.

Ok, I'll make one exception.
Katherine Turner.

@tsarstepan,

I am really warming to Evan Rachel Wood...as Delores in Westworld.

She is pulling it off...in a series with two other major contenders for the title...Thandie Newton as Maeve and Tessa Thompson as Charlotte. Very, very strong female cast!

(I know. You don't watch it because you do not have Showtime.)

@Frank Apisa,

I don't have Showtime either but I can see it OK.

I don't know if she is a femme fatale as such because she's got such a long back story as a victim. Isn't Charlotte also Delores?

Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity comes to mind right away.

It seems to me that women are being condemned for doing what men are admired for doing--going out and getting what they want, and morality be damned. I liked Faye Dunaway in Chinatown, even though she proved to less fatale than is common in rilm noir. She certainly was all femme.

Yeah. Delores made (I think) 4 other Delores's...but the one played by Wood is hot as a bonfire. Actually, so are the actresses who play Charlotte and Maeve. And I think we can wiggle them into the femme fatale category.

I think that Body Heat was one of the sexiest movies that I have ever seen.

Actually, the only thing I remember about the movie are her nipples.

I know, I know...base. But I wanted to be honest.

@Frank Apisa,

And I was thinking about the background music. It really set the mood!

@tsarstepan,

Katherine Heigl in Home Sweet Hell? I thought she was oddly funny when she turned homicidal.
And Sigourney Weaver in Heartbreakers?
