This type of character is one of the most compulsively watchable. Hope you don't mind if I add five of my own for consideration:<br /><br />-Harriet Craig (Joan Crawford, "Harriet Craig")<br />-Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway, "Network")<br />-Lilly Dillon (Anjelica Huston, The Grifters")<br />-Mrs. Iselin (Angela Lansbury, "The Manchurian Candidate")<br />-Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck, "Double Indemnity")R.
