Movieline's 100 Best Female Character Roles

Add to my lists | Print this list

Movieline Magazine (in their April, 1997 issue), in an article written by Virginia Campbell and Stephen Rebello, published a list of the 100 Best Female Characters. They described the characters as:

"Loyal wives, loving mothers, lost lushes. Heroines, whores, homicidal hussies. They’re all here, with a few slick sisters, whip-smart working girls, a screwy septuagenarian, and other women concocted out of light, shadow and sound. "

note: Rebecca and Thelma & Louise each have two enteries on the list, so there are only 98 films.
