I believe that is Jane Fonda. I have not seen any of her performances that won her the Oscar, let alone nominated for, but that could be Coming Home.
I think it's Fonda in Coming Home and I guess she's not going to be very high on your list.
Hmm - I normally love Cate, but oddly my first viewing of Elizabeth some time ago left me cold. I'm thinking it'll approve on rewatch, but for the most part I am perplexed by the positive raves I've seen this one get.
My opinion on her is actually also not as strong as it used to be (she used to be an easy 5 for me) but my appreciation only went down a Little bit. I still consider it a tremendous Performance, a real star-making turn.
