Sally Field dans Norma Rae, le panneau UNION.
Ratched dans Vol au-dessus d'un nid de coucou, l'une des meilleures méchantes.
Jane Fonda dans Klute, magnétique.
Louise Fletcher en infirmière Ratched, glaçante.
Glenda Jackson, deux fois en quatre ans, puis députée !
Ellen Burstyn avec Scorsese, très beau film.
Jane Fonda deux fois aussi, avec Coming Home.
Liza Minnelli dans Cabaret, « Life is a cabaret, old chum ».
Pas de Gena Rowlands, scandale !
Diane Keaton dans Annie Hall, la-di-da !
Superbe liste, merci.
Klute, film à revoir absolument.
Annie Hall a gagné contre Star Wars, incroyable.
Les années 70, la grande époque des actrices.
Faye Dunaway dans Network, quel rôle.
