Which female roles would you consider to be the most iconic? The performances may not have been Oscar winners, but they remain part of cinema culture today. Here are my top 10.
1. Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) – The Wizard of Oz
2. Scarlett O’Hara (Vivian Leigh) – Gone With The Wind
3. Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) – Breakfast at Tiffany’s
4. Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) – Silence of the Lambs
5. Sugar “Kane” Kowalczyk (Marilyn Monroe)- Some Like It Hot
6. Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) – Alien Franchise
7. Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) – Star Wars Franchise
8. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) – Halloween Franchise
9. Celie (Whoopi Goldberg) – The Color Purple
10. Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) – Fatal AttractionThere are so many that I wanted to add but I did not want to make a top 40. I will likely change my mind on the top 10. Who do you think are the top 10 Iconic female roles???

I forgot about so many performances. Julie Andrews could be in the top 10 alone with Mary Poppins and Maria von Trapp.

Not only is she simultaneously the smartest, kindest, most competent character in the entire movie, but she pulls all that off while being several months pregnant.
