Female screen icons

oops Susan Sarandon also.
.

Meryl Streep!!

Oo Jodie Foster

I agree. How about Jayne Seymour?

Female actors now do not have the stardust of the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Katherine Hepburn, with the exception of Meryl Streep

Looking at the male list its iconic roles really, rather that the star themselves.

I'd have to go for Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia.

As they're in their 40s ... Carrie Fisher.

Judy Garland, for us really-oldies. And Ingrid Bergman.
And Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford...I'm on a roll now!

Thank you. That's the one.

Sigourney Weaver MissA

Not their era though, still.

I struggle to think of any who are ‘icons’ which is sad really,
Need a ponder.

Whoever the woman was from the Alien films?

Jamie Lee Curtis?

Anne Hathaway

Oh! What about Uma Thurman?

Diana Dors?

Michelle Pfeiffer. ?

But some of these suggestions aren’t really current are they
It’s hard to think of any since Meryl Streep and Julie Roberts what about Kate Winslet

Doris Day. In my opinion she had it all, although seen as less glamorous than some.

Bardot? With her convictions for inciting racial hatred? Might as well have Kevin Spacey.

Diana Rigg is same era as Edward Fox and Sean Connery (assuming that’s who you mean as James Bond). Contemporary British actress - Helen Mirren, Joanna Lumley?

Julia Roberts? Cameron Diaz or Gwyneth Paltrow ?

That's because they all look the same

I don't think modern actresses are icons, if you saw them in a piece of art you would struggle to recognise them.

This

For me, as a generational thing, it has to be Katherine Hepburn, hands down, but for the modern generation, Meryl Streep certainly, Cate Blanchett, perhaps Susan Sarandon.
