I voted for Glenda Jackson in Women in Love though the best performance on the list was from Katherine Hepburn in The Lion in Winter. I didn't vote for her as I didn't wish to include Bab's.

My choice is Maggie Smith, who I had pegged as a multiple future Oscar winner way back in 1963 when I first saw her in The V.I.P.s.
I knew the minute I saw her in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie that that would the film for which she won her first. I never beleived all the hype about it being a two-way race between Minnelli and Fonda that year.

With the exception of The Lion in Winter (which I re-viewed last year), I haven't seen most of these performances in years. But, based on my rose-colored memories, I'm most fond of Jane Fonda in Klute--a magnificent performance, IMHO--but only a notch above Diane Keaton in Annie Hall.
