Moody and demanding, but somehow irresistable- Scarlett O'Hara. Sure, she's not the highest on the list, but she's overrated anyway. (I could tell she was acting at some parts, folks. Just because it's an old movie...) Anyway, Leigh did bring herself into the limelight as the first super-bitch in this role.

84. KIM NOVAK (Vertigo)
Playing two roles (!!!!), Novak is perfect at breaking Jimmy Stewart's heart.... twice.... as Madeline Elster and Judy Barton. It isn't until the ending when Novak's acting gets REALLY good, but I won't say anything else.
83. JAMES STEWART (Vertigo)
Stewart is finally spot-on with his role as John Ferguson in Hitchcock's classic. Opposite Novak (see above), Stewart is extremely believeable, always showing us John and never James. Plus, he can fake his vertigo quite well.

82. OLIVIA DE HAVILLAND (Gone With the Wind)
One of the strong GWTW performers, De Havilland is Scarlett's cousin, Melanie Hamilton who steals her beau and instantly headlines Scarlett's hate list. However, De Havilland makes Melanie kind-hearted, strong, independant, and utterly convincing all the way through the 15-hour film. (Tee hee.)
81. EMMA THOMPSON (Sense and Sensibility)
Doing double duty (Acting? And writing? Insane.), Thompson not only writes a beautiful performance but portrays a beautiful one as well. Whether it's her constant determination, or her shy facial expressions around Hugh Grant (!!!!....wait. No.), Thompson EARNED her Oscar nomination.
