That’s my choice and I will not take any *brown word* from any of you for picking her.

Even though I'm a gay male, Jodie Foster's character Rynn in "The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane" really resonated with me when I was young. I admired her intelligence, independence and bravery.

Simone Signoret as Nicole Horner In Les Diaboliques.

Ann-Margret as Kim McAfee in Bye Bye Birdie.

Cate Blanchett as Jeanette "Jasmine" Francis In Blue Jasmine.

Cloris Leachman as Ruth Popper in The Last Picture Show. (A supporting role, but she steals the movie and gets the last and best 10 minutes of it.)

Kirsten Dunst as Justine in Melancholia.

Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore in Goldfinger. (Another supporting role, but she and Sean Connery are the ultimate representation of two perfect fuck machines in all of cinema, ‘legitimate’ or pornographic.)

And the whole cast of Cries and Whispers. I’ve seen it twice, it wrecked me both times and I’ve completely blocked it from my memory. But I’m sure I’ll see it again, be wrecked, and block it again.

There’s a MARY for you.
