Who do you think is a good enough actress that, if you were to name her, no one would be able to argue with you?

Not an actress you like... but an actress who is consistently GOOD


(The only name you’re forbidden to say is Anne Hathaway)

The first people who came to my mind (may edit as I think of more):

Dianne Wiest, Kathy Bates, Glenn Close, Judi Dench

Meryl Streep & Nicole Kidman, too (even if they are occasionally breathy & overrated)

Kathy Bates’ performances in both Misery and Dolores Claiborne are two of my all-time favorites. Also love Cher in Moonstruck, Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs, Cynthia Erivo is great in Wicked, both Renee and Catherine are great in Chicago, Jessica Lange is always a treat, Toni Colette, Naomi Watts, Laura Dern, Angela Bassett, Laurie Metcalf, Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Gena Rowlands, Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Frances McDormand…

And we can both breathe a sigh of relief that it didn’t! 
 

But also: have you seen Dolores Claiborne? She’s ****ing fantastic in that.

Years ago but not well enough to remember it. Will rewatch

She is an actress whose every little expression has layers-upon-layers

Gravitas dripping out of her eyes

So nuanced but so natural, too (even in a decidedly campier role like Anne Wilkes).
