I’ve probably seen all of these (I say probably because a couple seem very familiar, but I couldn’t guarantee anything).

That being said, there are a few of these actresses that I think were better in other roles than those listed here.

For instance, Cate Blanchett — an incredibly talented performer — was (in my opinion) better in “Veronica Guerin” than as Elizabeth I (and she was GREAT in that!). Also, I thought Joan Fontaine was better in “Rebecca” than she was in “Suspicion,” though really it could be a toss-up.

I thought the best thing Katherine Hepburn did was “Lion in Winter,” though a close runner-up would be in “The Rainmaker.”

But I do agree that Shirley Booth’s best performance was in “Come Back, Little Sheba.” In my opinion, that was the best performance by any actress in any movie. That was just an incomparable performance.
