[Andy22]

Hillary Swank

 

[DesiPower]

Monica Bellucci :wub: "most" "versatile"

 

[vi edit]

Kathy Bates
Nicole Kidman

 

[Mermaidman]

Cate Blanchett's roles have included an elf (LOTR), Queen Elizabeth, evil Commie villain (Indiana Jones Crystal Skull) and . . . Bob Dylan. Accomplished stage actor and winner of many awards.

 

[Wyndru]

 

[Riverhound777]

Angelina Jolie. She mostly plays a hot bad-ass, but she's had some more serious roles as well.

 

[BrokenVisage]

Milla Jovovich, anybody? A female boxer, a girl pretending to be a boy, a karate kid, a zombie hunter... hmm, OK yeah not many feminine roles but still!

 

[Kirby]

Kathy Bates, going from Misery to the Office.

 

[shortylickens]

The first and obvious is Meryl Streep.
2nd choice would be Robyn Weigart from Deadwood. She's done a LOT more than Calamity Jane.
3rd is Kathy Bates, cuz she bounced between comedy, horror, romance, and drama, and did really well with each.
Also Linda Hamilton. People only remember her from Terminator 2, but she's got a wide resume.

 

[Jzero]

Cameron Diaz.

 

[BoomerD]

Many of the actresses listed are like Tom Cruise. No matter what movie he's in, it's always "Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise.

Demi Moore and Nicole Kidman are just two easy examples. While they may play in a wide variety of roles, there's no actual depth to their acting.

Meryl Streep is a great actress. Like only a handful of GREAT actors and actresses, when she plays a part, she becomes that part.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Hillary Swank

Agreed

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

Milla Jovovich, anybody? A female boxer, a girl pretending to be a boy, a karate kid, a zombie hunter... hmm, OK yeah not many feminine roles but still!

The first three was Hilary Swank. Only the last role was Milla Jovovich.

 

[gimmewhitecastles]

Jennifer Connelly
Naomi Watts
